Tirohia te wāhanga i raro nei, kātahi ka whakautu i te pātai i muri mai i te reo kotahi me te wāhanga:  Passage: I kitea a Gliese 436 b i Akuhata 2004 e R. Paul Butler me Geoffrey Marcy o te Carnegie Institute o Washington me te Whare Waananga o California, Berkeley, i te whakamahi i te tikanga tere radial. I te taha o 55 Cancri e, ko ia te tuatahi o te akomanga hou o nga aorangi me te rahinga iti (M sini) rite ki a Neptune. I tuhia te aorangi ki te whakawhiti i tana whetu ma te mahinga aunoa i te NMSU i te Hanuere 11, 2005, engari kaore i aro atu tenei kaupapa i taua wa. I te tau 2007, i ārahi a Gillon i tētahi rōpū i mātaki i te whakawhiti, e whangai ana i te kōpae whetū e pā ana ki te Ao. Na nga kitenga whakawhiti i whakatau ai tona papatipu tika me tona radius, he rite tonu ki a Neptune, na Gliese 436 b i taua wa te iti rawa o nga aorangi o waho o te ra e mohiotia ana. Tata ki te whā mano kiromita te diameter o te aorangi i a Uranus, ā, e rima mano kiromita te diameter o a Neptune, ā, he nui ake te taumaha. Ko te Gliese 436b e huri ana i te tawhiti e wha miriona kiromita, kotahi tekau ma rima ranei o te tawhiti toharite o Mercury mai i te Ra.  Patai: I kitea a Gilese 436 b i tehea tau?
