WASP-95 b is a sizzling hot Jupiter orbiting its star, WASP-95, discovered back in 2014 using the trusty SuperWASP survey. This exoplanet was spotted as it gracefully passed in front of its star, dimming the starlight just enough to catch the keen eyes of astronomers with the iKon-L CCD Camera. Located many light-years away, WASP-95 b isn’t just any planet—it’s a gas giant that’s way too close to its sun, baking under a furnace-like sky. Imagine a world where days are blisteringly hot and nights barely cool down, making it a scorcher in the cosmic neighborhood. While we can’t take a vacation there, WASP-95 b warms our understanding of how giant planets dance close to their stars.
