51 Pegasi b, officially named Dimidium / d ɪ ˈ m ɪ d i ə m /, is an extrasolar planet approximately 50 light-years (15 parsecs) away in the constellation of Pegasus.It was the first exoplanet to be discovered orbiting a main-sequence star, [3] the Sun-like 51 Pegasi, and marked a breakthrough in astronomical research.
51 Pegasi (abbreviated 51 Peg), formally named Helvetios / h ɛ l ˈ v iː ʃ i ə s /, [12] is a Sun-like star located 50.6 light-years (15.5 parsecs) from Earth in the constellation of Pegasus.

Orbits a red dwarf star. This planet orbits a little too far from the star, but the greenhouse effect would be enough to make this planet habitable. The other ocean planet candidate, GJ 1214 b, was detected by transit in which the density was calculated and determined that this planet is an ocean planet. Now disputed. [51] [52] First Jupiter ...
