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. Located 48 light-years away in the ...

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 ...

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 ...

“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, ...

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 ...

What secrets do you hold, planet GJ 1214 b? NASA turned the powerful James Webb Space Telescope to a world 48 light-years away, a type of planet called a "mini-Neptune" that's bigger than Earth ...

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 ...

GJ 1214 b, also known as Enaiposha since 2023, is thought to be a sub-Neptune exoplanet orbiting a red dwarf star. It has provided astronomers with new insights into planet formation and ...

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.
