The 'super-Earths',
with a mass 10 times greater than Earth's, are good candidates to find life
outside our solar system.
Located 42 light years
away, GJ 1214b is one of the most studied because it can be seen from
ground-based telescopes with relative ease
The data obtained with
the GTC by IAC researchers support the idea that GJ1214b's atmosphere is made
up of metal.
