models agree so closely is «somewhat remarkable,» the
team writes, and gives confidence that, when more details about Proxima b and other
exoplanets come in, their predictions will be less fantasy and closer to the facts.

models revealed that, while apparently cloud - free
exoplanets showed strong signs of water, the atmospheres of those hot Jupiters with faint water signals also contained clouds and haze — both of which are known to hide water from view.
