A Hot Jupiter Exoplanet that resembled the Gas Giant of the Solar System was discovered by astronomers and have called it WASP 62-b, featuring amazing details, including a full orbit of only four days for its year. The exoplanet is almost 600 light-years away from the planet and was initially discovered in 2012, but was not entirely sure of the planet s existence, and is completely cloudless.

According to a study published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters entitled Evidence of a Clear Atmosphere for WASP-62b: The Only Known Transiting Gas Giant in the JWST Continuous Viewing Zone, the Hot Jupiter is now considered to be an exoplanet. The WASP 62-b s revolution around the Sun and its orbit is one of the fastest that was seen by astronomers.
