bison Posted May 16, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) Proxima Centauri is an active star. It's estimated that the planet Proxima b is lashed by stellar winds 2000 times stronger those experienced by Earth. It seems that maintaining an atmosphere against such erosive forces would be very unlikely. Mars experienced stellar winds less strong than those at Earth, and long ago lost most of its atmosphere, after its magnetic field shut down.
