Designations for WASP planets edit
The correct designations for these planet are WASP-1b, WASP-2b, ..., WASP-15b, with no spaces. This is what is used by the SuperWASP web site [1]. The use by the Extrasolar Planets Enyclopaedia of a space is inconclusive since this source uniformly uses lower-case letters preceded by a space for planet designators even when, as in the case of PSR B1257+12, this is definitely wrong. (According to this discussion, this is due to a software limitation.) Remarks on individual planets follow.
- WASP-1b. Discovery paper [2] does not use space; SIMBAD [3] does not use space. Other papers (e.g., [4]) also generally use no space.
- WASP-2b. Discovery paper [5] does not use space; SIMBAD [6] does not use space. Other papers (e.g., [7]) also generally use no space.
- WASP-3b. Discovery paper [8] does not use space; SIMBAD [9] does not use space.
- WASP-4b. Discovery paper [10] does not use space; SIMBAD [11] does not use space.
- WASP-5b. Discovery paper [12] does not use space; SIMBAD [13] does not use space.
- WASP-7b. Discovery paper [14] does not use space.
- WASP-10b. Discovery paper [15] does not use space; SIMBAD [16] does not use space.
- WASP-14b. Discovery paper [17] does not use space; SIMBAD [18] does not use space.

Comparison point edit
Maybe it's just me but it seems like drawing comparisons to Mercury would also be a useful point of reference? Circéus (talk) 09:37, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
Color accessibility edit
While the size comparison to Jupiter in the infobox is informative of the planet's size and approximate color, it is almost impossible to see WASP-12b in the diagram. I'd suggest adding a thin outline around the edge of the disk, either in white or the approximate blackbody color . –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 23:42, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
- Isn't the blackbody colour more accurate anyways? There's no way the thing appears black with a 3000+ K temperature. 192.12.181.234 (talk) 20:20, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
