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 dense ...

40 light years away from Earth, circling a small star in the constellation of Ophiuchus, there's a super-Earth called Gliese 1214 b. Also known as GJ 1214 b, it was discovered in 2009 and has been a ...

A Japanese research team has used the Subaru Telescope with blue transmission filters to determine that the super-Earth-sized planet Gliese 1214 b (GJ 1214 b) has a cloudless hydrogen-dominated ...
