WASP-12b is a hot Jupiter [6] (a class of extrasolar planets) orbiting the star WASP-12, discovered in April of 2008, by the SuperWASP planetary transit survey. [ 7 ] [ 1 ] The planet takes only a little over one Earth day to orbit its star, in contrast to about 365.25 days for the Earth to orbit the Sun .
The instantaneous lunar distance is constantly changing. The actual distance between the Moon and Earth can change as quickly as 75 meters per second, [23] or more than 1,000 km (620 mi) in just 6 hours, due to its non-circular orbit. [24] There are other effects that also influence the lunar distance. Some factors are listed in the sections below.
WASP-12 is a magnitude 11 yellow dwarf star located approximately 1347 light-years away [2] in the constellation Auriga. [4] WASP-12 has a mass and radius similar to the Sun and is known for being orbited by a planet that is extremely hot and has a retrograde orbit around WASP-12. WASP-12 forms a triple star system with two red dwarf companions ...

The WASP‑4b and WASP-5b are the first planets discovered by the cameras and researchers in South Africa. WASP-3b is the third planet discovered by the equivalent in La Palma. In August 2009, the discovery of WASP-17b was announced, believed to be the first planet ever discovered to orbit in the opposite direction to the spin of its star, WASP-17.
WASP-121b is an ultra-hot Jupiter exoplanet with a mass about 1.16 times that of Jupiter and a radius about 1.75 times that of Jupiter. The exoplanet orbits WASP-121, its host star, every 1.27 days. [3] In 2019 a work by Hellard et al. discussed the possibility of measuring the Love number of transiting hot Jupiters using HST (Hubble Space ...
