"Scientists Discover a Jupiter-Like Planet Hotter Than the Sun"

TL;DR Summary
Scientists have discovered a binary system located 1,400 light years away that offers a unique opportunity to study hot Jupiters, a class of exoplanets that orbit very close to their stars and have extremely high surface temperatures. The system consists of a white dwarf and a brown dwarf, with the brown dwarf being the hottest ever found, about 2,000 degrees hotter than the surface of the sun. This discovery may provide insights into hot Jupiters' extreme conditions and the evolution of stars in binary systems.
