About this world
2MASS J21252752-8138278 b is a gas giant orbiting 2MASS J21252752-8138278, a cool red dwarf 111 light-years from Earth. It is about 1.1 times the size of Jupiter (its size estimated from its mass) and holds 12 Jupiter masses.
Its equilibrium temperature is about 1,616 K (1,343 °C): far too hot for liquid water on its surface. At its size it almost certainly keeps a deep envelope of hydrogen and helium.
It was discovered in 2024 by direct imaging with European Space Agency (ESA) Gaia Satellite. The planet itself is photographed, its star blocked by a coronagraph.
