WASP-85 A b is a sizzling hot gas giant happily orbiting its star, WASP-85 A, far beyond our solar system. Discovered in 2016 using the clever transit method by the K2 mission’s Kepler CCD Array, this exoplanet reveals itself by periodically dimming its star's light as it passes in front. While it doesn’t have a fanciful nickname yet, WASP-85 A b is a fascinating world to imagine—likely a massive, roiling ball of gas with temperatures that could melt metal, whizzing closely around its star in a tight, speedy orbit. This unlikely cosmic neighbor offers a glimpse into the wild diversity of planets out there, reminding us how our galaxy is packed with extraordinary worlds waiting to be explored.
