  10. For years astronomers kept finding rocky planets in habitable zones and then discovering they were bare, airless cinders. LHS 1140b, announced Thursday in the journal Science, is the first one that isn’t: it has an atmosphere, a surface temperature that allows liquid water, and a quiet enough star to keep both

    Researchers have found an Earth-like, rocky planet orbiting within the habitable zone of a distant star with an atmosphere.

  13. Astronomers have detected an #atmosphere around a rocky #planet orbiting in the #habitable zone of a nearby #star.

    Such planets around red dwarf stars have long been considered the best places in the galaxy to look for signs of alien #life. But so far, the #planets looked like bare rocks.

    It wasn’t clear if planets like this could even have atmospheres. Now we know that they can.

    The planet, LHS 1140b, is about 5.6 times as massive as Earth and 1.73 times Earth’s size. Those dimensions are consistent with an Earthlike composition shrouded in a gaseous atmosphere, or perhaps a global ocean of water.

    It also orbits far enough from its star that its surface temperature could support liquid water.

    Astronomers observed the molecular fingerprint of excess #helium gas absorbing light from the star. That excess is a sign of helium streaming away from the planet’s atmosphere, implying that it indeed has an atmosphere.

    I had a VERY uncomfortable experience yesterday. I went to a screening of the National #Emergency Briefing...
    ...a collection of professors and experts briefing the government around key subject areas pertaining to UK national #security.
    The focus was the decline of #nature, the #climate #catastrophe and what's coming in the #UK: total societal collapse and #famine.
    In summary, 24 years from now in the United Kingdom, #agriculture will have become functionally impossible.
    By 2050, the ambient UK #temperature is now predicted to be -20 degrees, and -30 in Scotland.
    Most people don't realise:
    1. Scotland sits at the same latitude (distance from the equator) as central Siberia, one of the coldest inhabited places on Earth.
    2. The UK is only #habitable because of the #GulfStream, which is predicted to collapse by 2050 when the #AMOC collapses.
    .....I gathered all the data about the destruction of nature, but not from the data aggregators like the UN or WWF, since they are widely considered suspect.
    Instead, I went to the grassroots movements: the charities, non-profits and NGOs on the ground that gather the data by hand.
    It took me a couple of days but I visited all their websites independently and built up the big picture in pieces.
    .....
    we don't actually need the National Hurricane Centre to tell us that hurricanes are perpetually intensifying. ...
    In 10 years in this industry, I've heard every stupid argument about why climate change isn't real, ....
    And you know who is always sitting behind those bullshit claims? I've checked.
    It's the industrial giants that want politicians to believe that mining, fracking, tilling and pesticides are the way forward.
    .....
    We urgently need people to shift professions. If you are an accountant or web designer, or maker of jewellery...
    ...we really need you in regenerative agriculture or designing or spearheading new climate and food security initiatives.
