…Exoplanet WASP-19b

"Using ESO's Very Large Telescope, astronomers made the discovery around the hot-Jupiter planet WASP-19b, a remarkable planet that has about the same mass as Jupiter. WASP-19b is so close to its parent star that it completes an orbit in just 19 hours and its atmosphere is estimated to have a temperature of about 2000 degrees Celsius.
