Got some errors in here. One is asserting the likelihood of Proxima Centauri B's having an atmosphere when its star's variability means its solar wind blows really hard sometimes, and may have stripped most or all of its atmosphere long ago. A second is asserting the planet is tidally locked when the studies say it may have a fractional day/month proportion like Venus or Mercury.
