Its radius makes it the largest exoplanet known at the end of 2012. Hat-P-32b is a planet in the orbit of the star HAT-P-32, which is approximately 1,044 light years away from Earth in Andromeda constellation. The planet is considered a Hot Jupiter, and although it is slightly less massive than Jupiter, it is bloated to nearly twice Jupiter's size. At the time of its discovery, Hat-p-32b had one of the largest radii known among extrasolar planets
