While no scientist has stated to believe GJ 1214 b is an ocean planet, if GJ 1214 b is assumed to be an ocean planet, [21] i.e. the interior is assumed to be composed primarily of a water core surrounded by more water, proportions of the total mass consistent with the mass and radius are about 25% rock and 75% water, covered by a thick envelope ...

Planet V, a planet thought by John Chambers and Jack Lissauer to have once existed between Mars and the asteroid belt, based on computer simulations. Various planets beyond Neptune: Planet Nine, a planet proposed to explain apparent alignments in the orbits of a number of distant trans-Neptunian objects. Planet X, a hypothetical planet beyond ...
The word is often used in reference to the Sun, Earth, and either the Moon or a planet, where the latter is in conjunction or opposition. Solar and lunar eclipses occur at times of syzygy, as do transits and occultations. The term is often applied when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction or in opposition . [4]
The eclipse, a once-in-a-lifetime event, completely put to shame its North American predecessor from 2017 when it charted a 115-mile-wide path across Mexico, the United States and Canada.
J1407b is a substellar object, either a free-floating planet or brown dwarf, with a massive circumplanetary disk or ring system.It was first detected by automated telescopes in 2007 when its disk eclipsed the star V1400 Centauri, causing a series of dimming events for 56 days.
