Super-Earth may have atmosphere

Scientists have found early evidence suggesting that the rocky exoplanet LHS 1140b, located 49 light-years away, may have an atmosphere, making it a potential candidate for habitability. The planet, a super-Earth in the habitable zone, shows signs of helium escaping its atmosphere, detected using the Magellan Clay telescope. While further observations are needed to confirm the presence of an atmosphere and potential water, this discovery offers promising insights into the capacity of rocky planets orbiting red dwarf stars to retain atmospheres.
