A new super earth GJ 1214b has atmosphere and oceans. This planet is approx six times bigger than our earth, but it contains an atmosphere of hydrogen and helium ten times thicker than our air. GJ 1214b is plus max. David Charbonneau of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, MA says "It's basically one big ocean." What can I say - science is awesome.
