Image title
Exoplanete WASP-12b: WASP-12b is a hot Jupiter-type exoplanet orbiting in 1.09 days around the star WASP-12, located about 870 light-years from the Sun, in the constellation of Coach. This planet is so close to its star that it is stretched by the maree forces of the latter so that it presents an ovoid shape and its atmosphere is little by little torn away by the star. WASP-12b is an extrasolar planet orbiting the star WASP-12, discovered by the SuperWasp planetary transit survey. Due to its extremely close orbit to its star, the star's tidal forces are distorting it into an egg shape and pulling away its atmosphere. The planet takes only a little over a day to orbit the star
