WASP-72 b, charmingly nicknamed Cuptor, is a sizzling hot exoplanet orbiting the star WASP-72, discovered back in 2012 using the trusty transit method with the SuperWASP facility's iKon-L CCD Camera. This fiery world lives up to its name—Cuptor means "oven"—as it bakes under the intense glare of its nearby star, making it a scorching giant among exoplanets. Although it's far beyond our solar system, this distant hot Jupiter offers a tantalizing glimpse into the extremes of planetary atmospheres and orbits. Imagine a world where days are blisteringly hot and nights barely offer any relief, all thanks to its close stellar embrace. Cuptor serves as a cosmic reminder of the diverse, fascinating planets peppering our galaxy.
