English: Artist's impression of the planet NGTS-1b, the first to be found using the NGTS system at ESO's Paranal Observatory. This planet is a hot Jupiter, at least as large as the Jupiter in the Solar System, but with around 20% less mass. It is very close to its star– just 3% of the distance between Earth and the Sun – and orbits the star every 2.6 days, meaning a year on NGTS-1b lasts two and a half days.
Italiano: Rappresentazione artistica del pianeta NGTS-1 b, il primo esopianeta trovato utilizzando il sistema NGTS presso l'osservatorio Paranal dell'ESO. Questo pianeta è un Gioviano caldo, grande almeno quanto Giove ma con circa il 20% in meno di massa. È molto vicino alla sua stella - solo il 3% della distanza tra la Terra e il Sole - e orbita intorno alla stella ogni 2,6 giorni, il che significa che un anno su NGTS-1 b dura due giorni e mezzo.
