GJ 1214b represents a new type of planet, like nothing seen in the solar system or any other planetary system currently known.

The exoplanet GJ 1214b is located just 40 light-years from Earth, but it's coated in so many thick clouds that scientists had a hard time studying it until recently. Using JWST's infrared vision ...

这个星球名叫GJ 1214b，江湖人称“神秘系外行星”，体重大约是地球的六倍。之前一直神龙见首不见尾，直到天文学家们通过观察它主恒星的“凌日 ...

Thanks to rapidly advancing telescope technology, astronomers have detected more than 5,600 planets outside our solar system.

含有水的岩浆海洋行星--就像这幅艺术家概念图中的类地系外行星GJ 1214 b--只会在其表面承载极小一部分的水。大部分水都储存在内部深处。图片来源 ...

This artist's conception shows the newly discovered super-Earth GJ 1214b, which orbits a red dwarf star 40 light-years from our Earth. It was discovered by the MEarth project -- a small fleet of ...

Researchers Measure the Light Emitted by a Sub-Neptune Planet's Atmosphere May 10, 2023 — Researchers observed exoplanet GJ 1214b's atmosphere by measuring the heat it emits while orbiting its ...

These exoplanets, as scientists call them, are worlds of lava, and worlds of water. They're worlds being ravaged by the heat of their stars, and worlds locked in eternal night. There are worlds ...

Located around 100 light-years away from Earth, the exoplanet is shrouded in a thick envelope of steam. This world, designated GJ 9827 d, is around twice the size of Earth, three times more ...

Matthews et al. overcame these difficulties by using MIRI to detect mid-infrared radiation from what could be the coldest and oldest exoplanet ever imaged. The age range of its star, ε Indi A ...

Located around 100 light-years away from Earth, the exoplanet is shrouded in a thick envelope of steam. This world, designated GJ 9827 d, is around twice the size of Earth, three times more massive ...

We are developing new techniques, models and theories to understand the conditions for habitability and for remote sensing of biosignatures. We design and operate exoplanet space missions and exploit ...
