On July 10th, Su Jia, an intern at Nanbo, a reporter from Pengpai News, and a study published in the Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics reported the discovery of the brightest exoplanet. This super hot exoplanet, known as LTT9779b, orbits its main star once every 19 hours and has reflective metal clouds made of metals such as silicates and titanium.
