Proxima b, orbiting our nearest star, Proxima Centauri. An exoplanet is a planet outside our own solar system. This is the closest such planet ever discovered, and furthermore, it is within the ...

"Astronomers have recently found there are two 'Earth-like' rocky planets around Proxima Centauri, one within the 'habitable zone' where any water could be in liquid form," said Andrew Zic from ...

Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf, which could make a good candidate for fostering habitable worlds around it, but declaring Proxima-b to be habitable has given scientists pause. The exoplanet is ...

What if we discovered life on Proxima Centauri b, the closest exoplanet to Earth, nestled in the habitable zone of the Alpha Centauri system? This science and space documentary explores the cosmos ...

As it happens, there’s a rocky planet, called Proxima Centauri b, orbiting in the habitable zone of Proxima Centauri, a red dwarf that’s the nearest star to our own, about 4.2 light-years ...

While Proxima b is estimated to receive about the same amount of heat from Proxima Centauri as Earth does from the Sun, Proxima Centauri is a much smaller, cooler star — a red dwarf — and ...

Last month’s announcement… Read More University of Washington astronomer Rory Barnes says Proxima Centauri b is the biggest discovery in 20 years for planet hunters like himself, but it could ...

The funny thing about the discovery of Proxima b - the closest planet to our solar system, which is also rocky, Earth-size, and potentially habitable - is that nobody has actually seen it.
