Astronomers discover new ‘Super-Venus’ exoplanet redefining planetary classifications

Hindustan Times  

Astronomers have identified a remarkable exoplanet, GJ 1214 b, nicknamed Enaiposha, which has challenged previous planetary classifications. Astronomers identified Enaiposha, a "Super-Venus" exoplanet 47 light-years away, challenging classifications with its dense atmosphere and unique traits. A new category: The Super-Venus Enaiposha's thick, impenetrable atmosphere and unusual composition have led scientists to create a new classification, dubbing it a "Super-Venus." Enaiposha’s extreme characteristics evoke comparisons to Venus, the hottest planet in our solar system, but on a scale never seen before.

Nasa said that the newly discovered exoplanet is more than three-and-a half times as big as Earth, calling it “oddly reminiscent” of Neptune. Nasa said that the exoplanet could offer scientists the chance to capture a “bar-code” type reading …

Forty-five known exoplanets possess an Earth-like atmosphere

Daily Mail  

Astronomers have found at least 45 planets orbiting distant stars that possess Earth-like qualities including a similar atmosphere and life sustaining liquid water. Only 17 of the 55 planets in the catalogue met the criteria defined by the Swedish researchers for being 'Earth-like' but the team found another 28 planets on the wider exoplanet list that also met the criteria …
