This artist's concept depicts the planet GJ 1214 b, a "mini-Neptune" with what is likely a steamy, hazy atmosphere. A new study based on observations by NASA's Webb telescope provides insight into this type of planet, the most common in the galaxy.
A science team gains new insight into the atmosphere of a "mini-Neptune," a class of planet common in the galaxy but about which little is known.
James Webb Space Telescope Closely Detects a Distant Mysterious Planet With Steamy Atmosphere | 🔬 ...
Washington, May 11 : The powerful next generation 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 described as a "mini-Neptune", a class of planets common in the galaxy but about which little is known. Measurements so far show they are broadly similar to, say, a downsized version of our own Neptune. Beyond that, little is known.
Mysterious planet has "unusually shiny atmosphere" and may contain water vapor, researchers say - ...
A strange planet that's stymied astronomers for years has an "unusually shiny atmosphere" and could be home to large amounts of water vapor, scientists said in a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature.
The distant planet, which is outside of our solar system about 40 light-years away, is totally covered in a deep haze that has made it difficult to study since it was first discovered in late 2009, researchers said.

Last Quarter Moon occurs at this morning 10:28 A.M. EDT. Because the Moon rises early and sets in the afternoon during this phase, the evening sky is clear of moonlight for easier deep-sky viewing after dark.
The large constellation Ophiuchus is climbing above the eastern horizon a few hours after sunset. This circular star pattern contains a plethora of deep-sky objects, including numerous globular clusters.

The sweet ensemble friend group is joined by Addison ( Mckenna Grace ), whom the boys seek out to befriend explicitly for her father’s access to a space rover so they can explore a crater.
In the film’s final moments, Caleb even seems to be part of a teased “Avengers: Endgame”-esque moment, cate of an unexpected reunion with his pals, much like Captain America in the Marvel epic. Yet the film decides to stay more conservative and even more somber.
