WASP-12b

WASP-12b is a gas giant planet orbiting the star WASP-12, discovered in April 1, 2008 by the SuperWASP planetary transit survey. It is notorious for being the closest orbiting planet in known space.
==Description== 
The planet is so close to WASP-12 that the star's tidal forces are distorting the planet into an egg shape.
WASP-12b is also a carbon-rich gas-giant and diamonds have been proven to be abundant at the core however getting to it would be considered impossible. The planet is being cooked at a crisp 2,200 °C, half the temperature of the Sun. It is believed that the planet will be consumed by the star in 600,000 years time which has caused the New Kepler Order to found a small space station nearby, to study the planet.
