The objects were spotted by astronomers who are part of an international consortium known as Wide Area Search for Planets (WASP). The planets, named WASP-148b and WASP-148c, orbit a Sun-like star about 800 light-years away, in the constellation of Hercules. The star system was then observed with an instrument known as SOPHIE at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence in France. Analysis revealed both WASP-148b and WASP-148c orbit in the same plane, just like the planets in the Solar System.
