Meet WASP-91 b, a sizzling hot Jupiter discovered in 2017 orbiting the star WASP-91 far beyond our solar system. This gas giant was spotted using the clever transit method — that’s when the planet sneaks in front of its star, causing a tiny dip in brightness detected from Earth by the SuperWASP-South telescope equipped with the iKon-L CCD Camera. Imagine a world so close to its star that it's baked to a glowing orange heat, much like a cosmic oven! Although it doesn’t have a catchy nickname yet, WASP-91 b’s discovery adds another thrilling chapter to our inventory of exoplanets. Its existence reminds us just how diverse and fascinating planets can be when we look beyond our own backyard.
