Awesome, thanks for the explanation. So it's not just because it's gas, but because it's plasma. Reading more about this planet, I learned it was found by KELT

Reading more about this planet, I learned it was found by KELT, the Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope, which is a funny name (if you consider that scientists usually have "big things" like the Large Hadron Collider, the Kilometer Square Array, etc.)
