In findings published Tuesday in , a team of scientists led by Ian Boutle at the have created successful simulations of two possible atmospheres of , an exoplanet orbiting , one a simple atmosphere of nitrogen tinged with carbon dioxide and another an . They found that possible liquid water, a prerequisite for life as we know it, might exist on parts of the planet. Artist's representation of Proxima B as an arid but not waterless rocky exoplanet. The University of Exeter's lead exoplanet modeller, Dr. Nathan Mayne, in remarks to , said, "If, and it is a huge if, the composition of the atmosphere was Earth-like then we showed the planet could indeed support temperatures which would allow liquid water on the surface". In another statement, he emphasized researchers could also "exploit this to hopefully improve our understanding of how our own climate has and will evolve".
