For the study, which was led by Dr. Everett Schlawin from the University of Arizona, the researchers used data obtained from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) ...

Astronomers using NASA’s state-of-the-art James Webb Space Telescope have made a groundbreaking discovery of GJ 1214 b, a planet unlike any we've seen before.

GJ 1214 b, absolutely a planet with an unusual structure. It occupies a rare middle ground between Earth-like rocky planets and Neptune-like ice giants, but it's neither hydrogen-rich nor ...

Webb tracked the full orbit of GJ 1214 b, allowing scientists to create a “heat map." This map showed a big change in temperature between the mini-Neptune’s day and night sides — only ...

“Our results show that the haze layer of GJ 1214 b must have a composition different from known celestial bodies,” says Maria Steinrueck from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, ...

Scientists have discovered a new type of alien planet — a steamy waterworld that is larger than Earth but smaller than Uranus. The standard-bearer for this new class of exoplanet is called GJ ...

40 light years away from Earth, circling a small star in the constellation of Ophiuchus, there's a super-Earth called Gliese 1214 b. Also known as GJ 1214 b, it was discovered in 2009 and has been ...

This discovery opens a new category for exoplanets. Astronomers have identified a unique exoplanet, GJ 1214 b, nicknamed Enaiposha, which has defied previous classifications. This hazy planet ...

When combined with the findings of previous observations in other colors, this new observational result implies that GJ 1214 b is likely to have a water-rich atmosphere. Super-Earths are emerging ...

At a distance of 48 light-years in the constellation Ophiuchus lies the exoplanet GJ 1214 b, and its dense carbon dioxide atmosphere categorizes it beyond conventional planetary identification.
