"While this is not the detection of life on another planet, it's an important step in the right direction: the detection of an atmosphere around the super-Earth GJ 1132b marks the first time that an atmosphere has been detected around an Earth-like planet other than Earth itself," said lead researcher John Southworth from Keele University in the UK.
Super-earth GJ 1132b is a pretty awesome place to go looking for life. It might be a 'water world' with an atmosphere.
Looks like it's raining today on GJ 1132b. The weather forecast was not mistaken.
