Enaiposha, also known as GJ 1214 b, is an exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf Orkaria, located just 48 light-years from the Solar System. It was discovered in 2009 and was one of the first exoplanets ...

Located 50 light-years away, the planet GJ 1214 b has defied 15 years of attempted observations due to its hazy nature. Skip to main content. Menu Digital Trends ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has taken a closer look at a mysterious "mini-Neptune" that is like nothing found in the solar system and may have had a watery past.

GJ 1214 b was thought to be either a rocky planet with a hydrogen-rich atmosphere, or a water-dominated world. Indeed, the name “Enaiposha”, ...

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.

Though TOI-421 b and GJ 1214 b are both sub-Neptunes, they vary in temperature: TOI-421 b is a toasty 1,340 degrees Fahrenheit, while GJ 1214 b is a relatively cool 370 degrees Fahrenheit.

But since GJ 1214 b is thought to be much bigger than Venus, this would make it unlike any other planet. Astronomers are therefore referring to this new world as a ‘super-Venus,’ making the ...
