WASP-5
WASP-5 is a magnitude 12 yellow dwarf star located about 910 light-years away in the Phoenix constellation.[2] The star is likely older than Sun, slightly enriched in heavy elements and is rotating rapidly, being spun up by the tides raised by the giant planet on the close orbit.[3]

gollark: Plus most of it's a statement and not an expression, so no composability.
gollark: Loads of different constructs.
gollark: Also, `for`/`else`?! Why?
gollark: Python *looks* simple, but has stupidly convoluted syntax with millions of special cases to make it stay simple-looking.
gollark: It's better than Java.
