WASP-103b is a gaseous exoplanet, more specifically a hot Jupiter, located in the Hercules constellation orbiting the star WASP-103. It has an oval shape, similar to that of a rugby ball, thanks to the force of gravity exerted by its star. It is the first exoplanet to have a deformation detected.

WASP-103 is an F-type main-sequence star located 1,800 ± 100 light-years (550 ± 30 parsecs) away in the constellation Hercules. Its surface temperature is (K). The star's concentration of heavy elements is similar to that of the Sun. WASP-103 is slightly younger than the Sun at 4 billion years. The chromospheric activity of the star is elevated due to interaction with the giant planet on a close-in orbit.

A2261-BCG (short for Abell 2261 Brightest Cluster Galaxy) is a supergiant elliptical galaxy in the galaxy cluster Abell 2261. One of the largest galaxies known, A2261-BCG is estimated to have an isophotal diameter of about , roughly 6 times larger than the Milky Way. It is the brightest and most massive galaxy in the cluster, and has one of the largest galactic cores ever observed, spanning over 10,000 light-years.
