Gliese 876 e is an exoplanet orbiting the star Gliese 876 in the constellation of Aquarius. It is in a 1:2:4 Laplace resonance with the planets Gliese 876 c and Gliese 876 b: for each orbit of planet e planet b completes two orbits and planet c completes four. This configuration is the second known example of a Laplace resonance after Jupiter’s moons Io Europa and Ganymede.Gliese 876 e has a mass similar to that of the planet Uranus.
