WASP-94A b
A hot Jupiter — a gas giant roughly the mass of Jupiter — orbiting a Sun-like star about 700 light-years away in the constellation Microscopium. It completes one full orbit every ~3.95 days, sitting so close to its star that gravity has permanently locked it: one face bakes in eternal sunlight at ~1,700 K, the other drifts in perpetual night at ~1,400 K.

Inspired by JWST's May 2026 detection of repeating silicate cloud cycles on WASP-94A b — the first exoplanet weather cycle ever observed, reported by Johns Hopkins / UCSC researchers.
