WASP-76b
WASP-76b is a hot Jupiter exoplanet discovered during 2013 that can be found in the constellation Pisces. It orbits a F-type star BD+01 316 (WASP-76) and has a size 0.92 that of Jupiter's mass. In March 2020, it was speculated the temperature on the planet could reach 2,400 °C (2,670 K) on the hot side, hot enough to vaporize neutral iron. If the night side of WASP-76b had temperatures down to at least 1,400 °C (1,670 K), the iron may condense then rain down as hot liquid iron on its surface. Study shows that WASP-76b seems to be the only planet in its solar system.
