Exploring the Potential Habitable Exoplanet LHS 1140 b

Researchers discuss the discovery of exoplanet LHS 1140 b, located in the habitable zone and potentially having a nitrogen-rich atmosphere capable of supporting liquid water, as suggested by observations from the James Webb Telescope. The chapter delves into the significance of confirming liquid water on an exoplanet outside our solar system, with comparisons to other planetary systems like Trappist and discussions on extreme conditions due to stellar activity. Computer models hint at the possibility of a frozen world with an ocean underneath, shedding light on the potential habitability of LHS 1140 b.
