Exoplanete GJ 1214 b - Exoplanet GJ 1214 b - Illustration showing the transit of...

Image title
Exoplanete GJ 1214 b - Exoplanet GJ 1214 b - Illustration showing the transit of the extrasolar planet GJ 1214 b in front of its star, the red dwarf GJ 1214, in the constellation Ophiuchus. GJ 1214 b is a super Earth, six times the mass of the Earth, which has an atmosphere but is too inhospitable to shelter life as we know it. This artist's impression shows how the super - Earth surrounding the nearby star GJ1214 may look. Discovered by the Mearth project and investigated further by the HARPS spectrograph on ESO's 3.6 - metre telescope at La Silla, GJ1214b is the second super - Earth exoplanet for which astronomers have determined the mass and radius, giving vital clues about its structure. It is also the first super - Earth around which an atmosphere has been found. The exoplanet, orbiting a small star only 40 light - years away from us, thus opens dramatic new perspectives in the quest for habitable worlds. The planet, GJ1214b, has a mass about six times that of Earth and its interior is likely mostly made of water ice. It appears to be rather hot and surrounded by a thick atmosphere, which makes it inhospitable for life as we know it on Earth
