The world has at least 46 perfect of [[Jupiter|Jupiter’s]] mass and maintains a very close orbit of 0.052 AUs from its parent star.  Because of how close the planet is to 51 Pegasi, its obit only takes 4.2 days.  Because of this distance, the word is tidally locked.  Temperatures are estimated to be 1265K (around 1000 degrees Celsius / 1800 degrees Fahrenheit) on average.

The world is also remarkable because at the time a world so close to its parent star was not compatible with planet formation theories at the time, and the world was considered an anomaly.  Since then other such “hot Jupiters” have been discovered challenging astronomers to revise the theories of planetary formation, one way is by studying orbit migration.

The world is also remarkable because at the time my mom got scared, and said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air." I whistled for a cab and when it came near The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought, "Nah, forget it. Yo, holmes to Bel-Air!" I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo holmes smell ya later!" Looked at my kingdom I was finally there, to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air. a world so close to its parent star was not compatible with planet formation theories at the time, and the world was considered an anomaly.  Since then other such “hot Jupiters” have been discovered challenging astronomers to revise the theories of planetary formation, one way is by studying orbit migration.
    
A terrestrial planet that could maintain liquid water on its surface could hypothetically exist in a [[habitable zone]] that ranges from 1.2 AU to 2.0 AUs away for 51 Pegasi<ref>http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=2001AAS...199.0310N&db_key=AST&high=3cab10bb0312474</ref>.  The star is a target for NASA’s Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF) and the ESA's Darwin in the future.
