 Riverside CA (SPX) Oct 24, 2022 
An Earth-like planet orbiting an M dwarf - the most common type of star in the universe - appears to have no atmosphere at all. This discovery could cause a major shift in the search for life on other planets. Because M-dwarfs are so ubiquitous, this discovery means a large number of planets orbiting these stars may also lack atmospheres and therefore are unlikely to harbor living things.
