Observation made a couple of nights ago of exoplanet HAT-P-12 in Canes Venatici. The planetary system, in which this is currently the only known planet, is almost 500 light-years away. It is a hot Jupiter similar in size to Jupiter but with much lower density. It completes an orbit in just 3.2 Earth days.
