The most prevalent type of star in the universe, the M dwarf, has an Earth-like planet orbiting it.
The most prevalent type of star in the universe, the M dwarf, has an Earth-like planet orbiting it that appears to have no atmosphere at all. This discovery could cause a major shift in the search for life on other planets. This discovery implies that a large number of planets orbiting these stars may also lack atmospheres and, as a result, are unlikely to support life because M-dwarfs are so common. The Astrophysical Journal Letters provides a detailed account of the research that produced the discoveries regarding the GJ 1252b no-atmosphere planet. In a day on Earth, this planet makes two orbits around its star. In addition to being inhospitable, GJ 1252b is significantl...
