We do not know if GJ 1132b has oxygen in it's atmosphere, or even if actually has an atmosphere. Just that it's possible, and that if it does, we'll be able to detect in the future. From the abstract of the Nature paper: "Receiving 19 times more stellar radiation than the Earth, the planet is too hot to be habitable but is cool enough to support a substantial atmosphere, one that has probably been considerably depleted of hydrogen. Because the host star is nearby and only 21 per cent the radius of the Sun, existing and upcoming telescopes will be able to observe the composition and dynamics of the planetary atmosphere." Emphasis on "cool enough to support" (not supports) and "probably been" (not has), and "will be able to observe" (not has observed). http://news.mit.edu/2015/new-earth-sized-exoplanet-1111 http://news.mit.edu/2015/new-earth-sized-exoplanet-1111 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliese_1132_b https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliese_1132_b http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v527/n7577/full/nature15762.html http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v527/n7577/full/nature1...
