Wasp-12 b is an ultra hot Jupiter class exoplanet that orbits its host star 17 times closer than Mercury orbits the Sun. Tidal forces are stretching it into an egg shape while the planet loses mass to its host star.
Unfortunately clouds rolled in and I was only able to get about half of the transit. This planet has a crazy short period of 26 hours so I’ll be able to give it another shot tomorrow night.
