http://astrobiology.com/2016/12/detection-of-the-atmosphere-of-the-16-earth-mass-exoplanet-gj-1132b.html Wooohooo! About time they finally found an atmosphere! According to the Hubble observations, there seems to be quite a lot of Water Vapor an Methane. Very weird. I believe it could either be caused by an oceanic planet with life beginning to evaporate, or a one Earth-like world becoming a volcanic Venus. With that amount of Methane, though, things get complicated. Could GJ 1132b have a light purple haze? That would be really cool - an Eve analogue just 39 light years away!
