GJ 1214 b’s did not produce strong Rayleigh scattering and, based on previous research on this super-Earth, lead the team of researchers to conclude the planet has a water-rich atmosphere.

GJ 1214 b, discovered by NASA’s James Webb Telescope, is a carbon dioxide-rich super-Venus exoplanet offering new perspectives on planetary science and challenging traditional 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 ...

After almost 15 years of futile efforts, an international team of researchers involving the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy has determined some of the atmosphere’s properties of the exoplanet GJ ...

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 ...

Super-Earth 40 light years away 'is rich in water with a thick, steamy atmosphere', confirm Japanese astronomers GJ 1214b is 2.6 times Earth’s diameter and weighs seven times as much It was ...

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 ...
