GJ 1214 b (sometimes Gliese 1214 b, [6] also named Enaiposha since 2023 [2]) is an exoplanet that orbits the star GJ 1214, and was discovered in December 2009. Its parent star is 48 light-years (15 pc) from the Sun, in the constellation Ophiuchus.

5 days ago · 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 ...

3 days ago · Enaiposha's thick, impenetrable atmosphere and unusual composition have led scientists to create a new classification, dubbing it a "Super-Venus." While it shares characteristics with Venus, such ...

5 days ago · Discovered in 2009, the planet orbits a star in the constellation Ophiuchus, also known as the "serpent-bearer," in the northern sky. At the time, it was thought to be an ocean planet, and in 2023 the International Astronomical Union formally dubbed the planet Enaiposha, which translates to "large body of water" in the Maasai language.

3 days ago · The new work that GJ 1214 b or Enaiposha has an atmosphere dominated by carbon dioxide (CO2). So it’s something not seen before, a super-sized Venus. Lead author of the University of Arizona ...

GJ 1214 is named Orkaria and its planet is named Enaiposha, after the Maa words for red ochre and for a large body of water, alluding to the color of the star and likely composition of the planet. [15]

GJ 1214 b (sometimes Gliese 1214 b, also named Enaiposha since 2023) is an exoplanet that orbits the star GJ 1214, and was discovered in December 2009. Its parent star is 48 light-years from the Sun, in the constellation Ophiuchus. As of 2017, GJ 1214 b is the most likely known candidate for being an ocean planet.

May 10, 2023 · NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has observed a distant planet outside our solar system – and unlike anything in it – to reveal what is likely a highly reflective world with a steamy atmosphere. It’s the closest look yet at the mysterious world, a “mini-Neptune” that was largely impenetrable to previous observations.

4 days ago · Astronomers recently found a new exoplanet called Enaiposha, or GJ 1214 b, approximately 47 light years from Earth, orbiting a red dwarf star. But while it was once thought to be a mini-Neptune, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) collected new data that have redefined Enaiposha as a ‘Super-Venus’: Venus, but on a much more epic scale.

5 days ago · Enaiposha is far too close to its host star, Okaria, to be able to host life itself as the planet would be far too hot. New in-depth observations using the James Webb Space Telescope data suggests it is much more similar to Venus, the hottest planet in the Solar System.
