Retrograde Hot Jupiter transit. Artwork of a Jupiter-like gas giant planet transiting its parent star. This planet,which orbits very close to its star,is of a type known as a Hot Jupiter. It also orbits in a direction opposite to the stellar rotation,so is known as a retrograde Hot Jupiter. This rare planetary configuration is caused by gravitational perturbations by another,more distant planet (upper left,dot in background) | |
