Enaiposha (GJ 1214 b) has been hiding behind a dense, Venus-like haze. JWST, using NIRISS transit spectroscopy, reveals a hydrogen-poor, metal-rich atmosphere with CO2, CH4, and H2O - enough to reclassify it from a suspected mini-Neptune to a true super-Venus. This is a technological triumph that shows how we can probe hazy, cooler worlds in the future, and what it means for hunting habitable planets down the line.
