Actually it's a Super Earth.

At five Earth masses, on the Meghar Scale Planetary Mass Classification
this planet lies right between the Earth like planets at 0.5 to 5 Earth
masses, and gas giants, or giant planets, at 5 to 50 times Earth masses.

We don't actually have any images of it, those last two pictures are
artist drawings - totally speculative. There are expected to be both
rocky super Earths and watery super Earths, and everything in between.

You do realise that only the first is a real telescope photo, the other
two are CGI artist's impressions...?
