挑战理论的系外行星大气迫使人们重新思考现有理论

科学家发现熔岩行星的大气层挑战了现有的逃逸理论，并对宇宙海岸线概念提出了质疑。斯坦福大学的研究人员开发了一个新模型，解释了靠近恒星的熔岩行星如何保留其大气层，这可能为寻找太阳系外的生命提供参考。

The discovery of lava worlds with atmospheres is challenging our theories of how atmospheres escape, and calling into question the idea of the cosmic shoreline. Stanford researchers have developed a model that explains how lava-covered worlds close to their stars can retain their atmospheres. The new theory could inform the search for life beyond our Solar System.
