The exoplanet GJ 1214 b was a puzzle for more than a decade because its dense, reflective cloud covering made previous observations ambiguous. Detected at 48 light years away in the direction of the ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed a planet unlike any other. GJ 1214 b, located 48 light-years away in Ophiuchus, defies typical planetary classifications. With a ...

First discovered in 2009, GJ 1214 b is described by the JWST team as being “sub-Neptune-sized” - smaller than the outermost planet in our Solar System, but larger than the Earth. It has a radius ...

This discovery opens a new category for exoplanets. Astronomers have identified a unique exoplanet, GJ 1214 b, nicknamed Enaiposha, which has defied previous classifications. This hazy planet ...

A new type of exoplanet has been discovered: Enaiposha, also known as GJ 1214 b. Long heralded as a mini-Neptune, new observations have indicated that it is a member of a category never seen before ...
