This suggests that instead of a Neptune-like exoplanet, that GJ 1214 b is more of a super-Venus exoplanet, which is astounding since its orbital period is only 1.6 days, whereas the orbital period of ...

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 ...

A Possible Metal-dominated Atmosphere below the Thick Aerosols of GJ 1214 b Suggested by Its JWST Panchromatic Transmission Spectrum ...

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 ...

After 15 years of futile attempts, the James Webb space telescope uncovers details about the composition of mini-Neptune GJ 1214 b's atmosphere.

The exoplanet Enaiposha (GJ 1214 b), previously thought to be a mini-Neptune, has been reclassified as a "Super-Venus" following new data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

GJ 1214 b is tidally locked, meaning it has a permanently star-facing "day side" and a perpetual "night side" that always stares out into space.

GJ 1214 b is part of a family of planets that are also called mini-Neptunes. That's because they have a rocky composition, possibly oceans above that, and an atmosphere rich in hydrogen.

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 ...
