Astronomers discover four new 'hot Jupiters'

An international team of astronomers has detected four new “hot Jupiter” exoplanets as part of the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). The newly found alien worlds are at least 10% larger than Jupiter but less massive than the solar system’s biggest planet. The finding is reported in a paper published March 18 on arXiv.org.
