Astronomers have identified an exoplanet named Enaiposha, also known as GJ 1214 b, located 47 light-years from Earth. Initially classified as a mini-Neptune, further observations suggest it may belong to a different planetary category.

      When I play a space game, there usually is a nametag above every planet.

      If you don’t see it, go to your telescope preferences, ui overlay settings, enable nametags.

      We didn’t know this before we had the James Webb telescope. Now we have enough resolution to read the name tags.

      My dog Enaipo wants to hump it, and it looks a bit Russian. He named it.
