A Planet Around a Hot Star Artist's impression of the planet
OGLE-TR-L9b. Circling its host star in about 2.5
days, it lies at only
three percent of the Earth-Sun distance from its
star, making the planet
very hot with a bloated roiling atmosphere. The
star itself is the hottest
star with a planet ever discovered. Credit: ESO/H.
