Meet Krotoa, the dazzling exoplanet officially known as WASP-62 b, discovered in 2012 by the SuperWASP project using the transit method. Orbiting the bright star WASP-62, this hot Jupiter is a sizzling world with a close-in orbit, making it a glowing jewel in its starry neighborhood. Its discovery was captured through the keen eyes of the iKon-L CCD Camera from Earth’s surface, highlighting the power of ground-based telescopes to uncover distant worlds. Krotoa’s scorching atmosphere and tight orbit make it a fascinating subject for astronomers, shining a light on the dynamic lives of gas giants beyond our solar system. This exotic planet invites us to imagine the intense heat and cosmic drama happening many light-years away!
