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 ...

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) ...

GJ 1214 b is described as a super-Earth is located just 40 light-years from Earth, in the constellation Ophiuchus, and new research revealed the planet may have a water-rich atmosphere. Artist's ...

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.

Astronomers and planetary scientists have observed planetary transits of super-Earth GJ 1214 b (Gilese 1214 b). The team investigated whether this planet has an atmosphere rich in water or hydrogen.

Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have discovered a new class of alien planets, so-called steamy waterworlds. The discovery is based on the planet GJ 1214b, which appears hot, wet and ...

The blue sphere represents the host star GJ 1214, and the black ball in front of it on the right is GJ 1214 b. SUPER-EARTH GJ 1214B. The water world, ...

"GJ 1214b is like no planet we know of," Berta said. "A huge fraction of its mass is made up of water." But this doesn't mean that GJ 1214b is just a watery version of our own world - it's a ...

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 ...
