WASP-98 b is a fiery gas giant racing around its star, WASP-98, discovered back in 2014 using the clever transit method by the SuperWASP project. This hot Jupiter, spotted with the help of the iKon-L CCD Camera from good old Earth, is a close-in world that sizzles under the intense glare of its host star. Although it’s far too toasty for any life as we know it, WASP-98 b offers a dazzling example of planets that orbit so tightly they complete their years in just a few days. This speedy, glowing giant invites us to marvel at the wild diversity of distant worlds beyond our solar system, reminding us just how varied and exciting the cosmos can be!
