WASP-66 b is a hot Jupiter-style exoplanet that orbits the star WASP-66, discovered in 2012 thanks to the sharp eyes of the SuperWASP team and their trusty iKon-L CCD Camera peering from the ground. This sizzling gas giant races so close to its star that its atmosphere is likely a roiling cauldron of intense heat, far different from the gentle climates we're familiar with on Earth. While it doesn’t have a proper name yet, WASP-66 b’s bold transit across its star's face gave astronomers a golden ticket to study the mysteries of distant worlds. It’s a reminder that even across the vastness of space, with the right tools, we can catch planets in the act and uncover the wonders of the cosmos.
