An artist's conception of GJ 1214 b. Although the sub-Neptune planet has been studied by astronomers for more than a decade, its opaque atmosphere has made it difficult to gain an understanding of its makeup until now. JWST enabled a team of astronomers to study its atmosphere in never-before-seen detail, revealing a highly reflective world with a steamy atmosphere. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/R. Hurt (IPAC).
