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.

“Our results show that the haze layer of GJ 1214 b must have a composition different from known celestial bodies,” says Maria Steinrueck from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, ...

GJ 1214 b, absolutely a planet with an unusual structure. It occupies a rare middle ground between Earth-like rocky planets and Neptune-like ice giants, but it's neither hydrogen-rich nor ...

The "mini-Neptune" exoplanet found 48 light-years away doesn't resemble anything in our own solar system. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has taken a deeper look at a mysterious planet ...

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 ...

Sometimes, though, the scientists come across something that baffles them. The exoplanet GJ 1214 b, also called Gliese 1214 b, is one for which they've been having trouble getting a solid ...

The planet is known as Gliese 1214b or just GJ 1214b for short. It orbits a star called Gliese 1214, about 48 light-years from Earth. That's right next door in astronomical terms, making GJ 1214b ...

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 ...

What secrets do you hold, planet GJ 1214 b? NASA turned the powerful James Webb Space Telescope to a world 48 light-years away, a type of planet called a "mini-Neptune" that's bigger than Earth ...
