About WASP-12b
WASP-12b is a hot Jupiter exoplanet that is slowly being eaten alive by its host star, WASP-12. It is being vaporized by extreme heat and stretched into an oblong shape due to the star's gravitational pull. WASP-12b's atmosphere is boiling off into space, and it will likely crash into its star soon.
