The planet, GJ 1214 b, is located a mere 48 light-years away ... and so it required careful statistical analysis to ensure that it is real,” explains Kazumasa Ohno, a researcher at the National ...

NASA's keen eyes in the sky have spotted a curious creature of a planet, more than eight times the size of Earth, trailing ...

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 ...

This artist's conception shows the newly discovered super-Earth GJ 1214b, which orbits a red dwarf star 40 light-years from our Earth. It was discovered by the MEarth project -- a small fleet of ...

The exoplanet Enaiposha, or GJ 1214 b, is a hazy world orbiting a red dwarf star about 47 light-years from Earth. Previously likened to a mini-Neptune, in-depth observations obtained using JWST now ...

The standard-bearer for this new class of exoplanet is called GJ 1214b, which astronomers first discovered in December 2009. New observations by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope suggest that GJ 1214b is ...

“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, ...

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 ...

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 ...
