Scientists have discovered four new hot Jupiter extrasolar planets orbiting dwarf stars.
Using telescopes of the Hungarian-made Automated Telescope Network-South (HATSouth) Exoplanet Survey, the team observed four G-type dwarf stars known as HATS-50, HATS-51, HATS-52 and HATS-53.

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.
