GJ 1214 b: A Super-Venus Emerges. GJ 1214 b was once believed to be a hydrogen-rich super-Earthor a water world with a thick, steamy atmosphere. However, the James Webb’s observations revealed a ...

NASA's keen eyes in the sky have spotted a curious creature of a planet, more than eight times the size of Earth, trailing through its own solar system. This otherworldly giant, dubbed GJ 1214 b ...

NASA’s James Webb Telescope uncovers GJ 1214 b, a super-Venus exoplanet with a carbon dioxide-heavy atmosphere, challenging planetary classification and offering new insights into planetary ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered exoplanet GJ 1214 b, situated 48 light-years away in the constellation Ophiuchus. This planet has a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere, presenting a ...

This artist's impression shows the super-Earth exoplanet orbiting the nearby star GJ 1214. It is the first super-Earth to have its atmosphere analysed. The exoplanet, orbiting a small star only 40 ...

Both TOI-421 b and GJ 1214 b are in between Earth and Neptune in terms of radius, mass, and density. The low densities of the two exoplanets indicates that they must have thick atmospheres.

An object we thought belonged to the most common category of planet in the galaxy has turned out to be something we've never seen before. The exoplanet Enaiposha, or GJ 1214 b, is a hazy world ...

When The Press last checked in with Zach Berta, late in 2009, he was celebrating with his Harvard astronomy team the discovery of a new planet: "GJ 1214 b." Since then, the 2003 valedictorian from ...

GJ 1214 b orbits its central star, GJ 1214, at a distance of about one-seventieth of the distance between the Earth and the Sun. This means that the planet is in a so-called tidally locked rotation.

This artist's concept depicts the planet GJ 1214 b, a "mini-Neptune" with what is likely a steamy, hazy atmosphere. NASA/JPL-Caltech/R. Hurt (IPAC) ...
