Cold bands of dust surround the closest star to our Solar System — and maybe more planets 2017-11-04T04:00:00Z And they looked at the likely scenarios of Proxima b being tidally locked—always presenting the same face to the star—or making three spins for every two orbits. Closest alien world to our solar system could be ripe for life, models suggest 2017-05-15T04:00:00Z Last year, they discovered what might be a habitable planet in orbit around Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to Earth. No encounters: most ambitious alien search to date draws a blank 2017-04-20T04:00:00Z Those preliminary tests, plus other technical challenges associated with these ambitious observations, would probably preclude Webb’s scrutinizing Proxima b until at least a year into its primary mission. The Air Out There: Astronomers Aim to Find Atmospheres of Alien Earths 2017-08-14T04:00:00Z Meanwhile, scientists are scrambling to get a better look at Proxima b, a rocky world that was discovered orbiting our sun's nearest neighbor, Proxima Centauri, last August. Scientists discover 7 ‘Earthlike’ planets orbiting a nearby star 2017-02-22T05:00:00Z With so much leftover material around Proxima Centauri that didn’t form into planets, it’s possible that some of this material did become planets that just haven’t been found yet.

What it would take to reach the stars 2017-01-31T05:00:00Z Closer to home, astronomers announced in August that there was a potentially habitable planet about the size of Earth circling the nearest star, Proxima Centauri. Science News That Stuck With Us in 2016 2016-12-16T05:00:00Z But habitability is a long shot: Proxima Centauri is an unruly star that probably blasts the planet with a fierce solar wind, x-rays, and ultraviolet light. From AI to protein folding: Our breakthrough runners-up 2016-12-22T05:00:00Z However, Proxima Centauri belongs to a class of small, cool stars known as M dwarfs. Amazing science stories from 2016 - BBC News 2016-12-21T05:00:00Z The chances are low, but if it does, then much more science can be gleaned when Proxima’s light passes through the planet’s atmosphere, if it has one. Nature’s 10 2016-12-18T05:00:00Z When the craft gets to Proxima Centauri, there will be no way to slow it down, so it will whip through the star system in about two hours. What it would take to reach the stars 2017-01-31T05:00:00Z Nearest neighbour: Astronomers discovered evidence for a rocky exoplanet within the habitable zone of Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to our Solar System.

The good and bad news of the Earth-sized planet Proxima b 2016-09-08T04:00:00Z For astronomers, Proxima b is a dream planet. Could Aliens Have Souls That Need Saving? 2016-09-23T04:00:00Z Neither Shakespeare nor the Sistine Chapel will survive, except perhaps as legends or the bad dreams of whatever robots might inhabit the worlds like Proxima b. Whatever We Dig Up, We’ll End Up Buried 2016-09-19T04:00:00Z Whatever Proxima b is like today—that is, 4.3 years ago—it’s likely to be vastly different eighty thousand years from now. An Exoplanet Too Far 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z And last we learned about the discovery of a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to our sun. The 4 biggest milestones in the history of life on Earth 2016-09-01T04:00:00Z When Proxima b orbits around Proxima Centauri, the planet’s gravity actually tugs on the star and causes it to wobble slightly. Exoplanet Proxima b is 'potentially habitable' — so how would we find life if it's there? 2016-08-25T04:00:00Z The news prompted excited questions among scientists: Is there really water on Proxima b? Could Aliens Have Souls That Need Saving? 2016-09-23T04:00:00Z The velocities involved are tiny: for Proxima Centauri about two metres per second, a brisk walk. Round and round the mulberry bush 2016-08-25T04:00:00Z Like many exoplanets, Proxima b was observed indirectly, but convincingly, through its gravitational sway. An Exoplanet Too Far 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z This puts its distance from Proxima Centauri itself at 7m kilometres, which is less than a twentieth of the distance between Earth and the sun. Proximate goals 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z In that case, I’d like to hype check Proxima b, please. Exoplanet Proxima b is 'potentially habitable' — so how would we find life if it's there? 2016-08-25T04:00:00Z If that's the case, scientists will be able to study the planet's mass and atmosphere by analyzing the way Proxima's light passes around it.

An Exoplanet Too Far 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z There may, just possibly, be another way to look at Proxima Centauri b—or, at least, at its atmosphere. Proximate goals 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z The astronomers don’t know if Proxima b transits yet. Exoplanet Proxima b is 'potentially habitable' — so how would we find life if it's there? 2016-08-25T04:00:00Z They believe that instruments like the James Webb Space Telescope, launching in 2018, will allow them to glimpse Proxima b in no time. Scientists say they’ve found a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, our closest neighbor 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z The exoplanet, officially named Proxima b, is close enough that astronomers may be able to photograph it directly within several years, allowing them to study its atmosphere and surface. Earth-like Planet Discovered Near Solar System 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Alongside a commentary that accompanies the new paper, Nature published an artist’s rendition of the surface of Proxima b. An Exoplanet Too Far 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z The thought, however outlandish, of actually visiting Proxima Centauri b underlines what is most notable about its discovery. Proximate goals 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Kipping says astronomers could try to observe a transiting Proxima b in the infrared — a wavelength of light outside of the visible spectrum. Exoplanet Proxima b is 'potentially habitable' — so how would we find life if it's there? 2016-08-25T04:00:00Z At around 25 trillion miles away, a trip to Proxima b would be more than 8,000 times as long. Scientists say they’ve found a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, our closest neighbor 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z “But that is not necessarily the case with Proxima b.” Earth-like Planet Discovered Near Solar System 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Temporally, Proxima b is our next-door neighbor, a contemporary compared with the crotchety galaxies several billion light-years away. An Exoplanet Too Far 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z And despite its nice-sounding location in the “habitable zone”, the presence of any sort of life on Proxima Centauri b is far from a foregone conclusion. Proximate goals 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Yesterday, the European Southern Observatory dropped a bombshell announcement: an Earth-sized planet orbits around Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our Solar System. Exoplanet Proxima b is 'potentially habitable' — so how would we find life if it's there? 2016-08-25T04:00:00Z Located about 4.25 light-years from the sun, Proxima is less famous than the Alpha Centauri binary star system it hangs around with. Scientists say they’ve found a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, our closest neighbor 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Proxima Centauri regularly blasts the exoplanet with energetic streams of X-ray and ultraviolet radiation—up to 400 times the amount that reaches Earth from the Sun. Earth-like Planet Discovered Near Solar System 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Only 4.3 light-years away, Proxima b is tantalizingly close by—as close to us as any extrasolar planet is ever likely to be. An Exoplanet Too Far 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Proxima Centauri is in the southern skies, and therefore not so easy to study from north of the equator. Proximate goals 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Astronomers confirmed Proxima b’s existence by studying these wobbles. Exoplanet Proxima b is 'potentially habitable' — so how would we find life if it's there? 2016-08-25T04:00:00Z Proxima b orbits its parent star every 11 days. Scientists say they’ve found a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, our closest neighbor 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z The researchers now hope to learn whether the Proxima planet's pass across the face of its star as seen from Earth. Earth-sized planet around nearby star is astronomy dream come true 2016-08-23T04:00:00Z Anglada-Escudé and his colleagues estimate that Proxima b is at least 1.3 times as big as Earth and is most likely a terrestrial planet, with a surface. An Exoplanet Too Far 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Searches around other nearby stars, including Proxima Centauri’s more sunlike siblings, Alpha Centauri A and B, will add more such targets. Proximate goals 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z And even if Proxima b doesn’t transit, it's not game over. Exoplanet Proxima b is 'potentially habitable' — so how would we find life if it's there? 2016-08-25T04:00:00Z Then there's Proxima itself: Known as a flare star, the red devil lashes huge flares of radiation out into space every few hours. Scientists say they’ve found a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, our closest neighbor 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z The data even contain hints that a second planet may exist, orbiting Proxima somewhere between every 100 and 400 days. Earth-sized planet around nearby star is astronomy dream come true 2016-08-23T04:00:00Z That means the Proxima b detectable today is the exoplanet as it existed 4.3 years ago, when those light rays left its surface. An Exoplanet Too Far 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z If spectra showed methane and oxygen together, the likelihood of life on Proxima Centauri b would rise dramatically. Proximate goals 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Astronomers will try to directly image the planet by blocking out the light of Proxima Centauri in order to find Proxima b. Exoplanet Proxima b is 'potentially habitable' — so how would we find life if it's there? 2016-08-25T04:00:00Z Led by Guillem Anglada-Escudé from Queen Mary University of London, 31 scientists from eight different countries spent several months collecting data on Proxima. Scientists say they’ve found a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, our closest neighbor 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Because Proxima is a red-dwarf star, the planet would appear reddish or orangeish, perhaps bathed in light similar to the warm evening tints of Earth. Earth-sized planet around nearby star is astronomy dream come true 2016-08-23T04:00:00Z That's because a telescope in Chile that was used to look at Proxima every night for 60 days found a gravitational effect on its star every 11 days or so. Jackpot: Scientists find Earth-like planet at star next door 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Another way to look for life on Proxima Centauri b would be to search for radio signals. Proximate goals 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Let’s say everything goes right and we somehow find strong signatures of life on Proxima b. Exoplanet Proxima b is 'potentially habitable' — so how would we find life if it's there? 2016-08-25T04:00:00Z Proxima b will no doubt be dubbed "Earthlike" by many, but let's not jump the gun. Scientists say they’ve found a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, our closest neighbor 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z One day, the Proxima planet might be seen as the birth of a new stage in planetary research. Earth-sized planet around nearby star is astronomy dream come true 2016-08-23T04:00:00Z Yet in the vastness of space, Proxima b is practically just over the fence, "like your next-door neighbor," Butler said. Jackpot: Scientists find Earth-like planet at star next door 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Proxima Centauri b, as it is known, probably weighs between 1.3 and three times as much as Earth and orbits its parent star once every 11 days. Proximate goals 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Kipping and his team at Columbia University have been looking for transiting exoplanets in front of Proxima Centauri and may have answers for us soon. Exoplanet Proxima b is 'potentially habitable' — so how would we find life if it's there? 2016-08-25T04:00:00Z If Proxima b proves to be a real planet — and one particularly worthy of study — a visit wouldn't be totally outside the realm of possibility. Scientists say they’ve found a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, our closest neighbor 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Whether the temperatures on Proxima b are favourable for life to exist is going to depend on the presence of an atmosphere. Earth-sized world 'around nearest star' - BBC News 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z That’s because a telescope in Chile that was used to look at Proxima every night for 60 days found a gravitational effect on its star every 11 days or so. Jackpot: Scientists find Earth-like planet at star next door 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z But Proxima Centauri b will retain a special place: the nearest, and the first. Proximate goals 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Oh it would be huge news — especially because Proxima b is an exoplanet. Exoplanet Proxima b is 'potentially habitable' — so how would we find life if it's there? 2016-08-25T04:00:00Z But even though Proxima is our closest neighbor, it's still awfully far: NASA's New Horizons probe had to travel 3 billion miles to get to Pluto and took nearly a decade to do so. Scientists say they’ve found a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, our closest neighbor 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z If there are lifeforms on Proxima b - even simple microbes - they may find the going rather tough, however. Earth-sized world 'around nearest star' - BBC News 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Yet in the vastness of space, Proxima b is practically just over the fence, “like your next-door neighbor,” Butler said. Jackpot: Scientists find Earth-like planet at star next door 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z If Proxima b doesn’t transit, there is still hope. Earth-like planet found orbiting our nearest stellar neighbor 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z But it would be nearly impossible to link Earth life to any life we find on Proxima b. Exoplanet Proxima b is 'potentially habitable' — so how would we find life if it's there? 2016-08-25T04:00:00Z Then again, the detection of an Earthlike atmosphere on Proxima b would provide some excellent motivation. Scientists say they’ve found a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, our closest neighbor 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Researchers are presently looking to see if the planet crosses the face of Proxima Centauri as viewed from Earth - an event referred to as a "transit". Earth-sized world 'around nearest star' - BBC News 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z As a result, Proxima b’s orbit is a mere 11.2 days — about an eighth the length of Mercury’s orbit. A planet orbits around the closest star to our Solar System — and it may be habitable 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Thanks to its closeness to Proxima Centauri, the planet also receives 100 times as much high energy radiation as Earth, in the form of ultraviolet light and x-rays. Earth-like planet found orbiting our nearest stellar neighbor 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z That involves studying the very tiny movements in the planet’s host star, Proxima Centauri. Exoplanet Proxima b is 'potentially habitable' — so how would we find life if it's there? 2016-08-25T04:00:00Z As Anglada-Escudé said in a statement, "The search for life on Proxima b comes next." Scientists say they’ve found a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, our closest neighbor 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Simply identifying the world, catalogued as "Proxima b", was a considerable challenge. Earth-sized world 'around nearest star' - BBC News 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z And Proxima b is squarely in this region. A planet orbits around the closest star to our Solar System — and it may be habitable 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Of the three, a small, dim, reddish star called Proxima Centauri is the closest to Earth, at 4.24 light-years away. Is The New $100-Million "Starshot" For Real? But life on Proxima b isn’t completely out of the question just yet. Exoplanet Proxima b is 'potentially habitable' — so how would we find life if it's there? 2016-08-25T04:00:00Z But while Alpha Centauri is made up of two rather sun-like stars, Proxima is actually closer. Scientists say they’ve found a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, our closest neighbor 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z But Proxima Centauri is what is termed a red dwarf star. Earth-sized world 'around nearest star' - BBC News 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z And given how close Proxima b is to us, the planet just became the top candidate in the search for alien life outside of our Solar System. A planet orbits around the closest star to our Solar System — and it may be habitable 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z The system consists of three stars: Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B, sunlike stars that circle each other, and Proxima Centauri, which may be circling the other two. A Visionary Project Aims for Alpha Centauri, a Star 4.37 Light-Years Away 2016-04-12T04:00:00Z That means the planet, called Proxima b, is potentially habitable and may support life. Exoplanet Proxima b is 'potentially habitable' — so how would we find life if it's there? 2016-08-25T04:00:00Z The nearest star to the sun is Proxima Centauri, and it’s about 25 trillion miles away. New Horizons has gone to Pluto, and now comes the Great Beyond 2015-09-06T04:00:00Z Baxter’s response to working on this gentler side of science fiction was to write Proxima, and its sequel Ultima. Stephen Baxter interview: why science fiction is like therapy 2015-07-25T04:00:00Z As Proxima b orbits around the star, the tiny world’s gravity tugs on Proxima Centauri, causing the star to wobble. A planet orbits around the closest star to our Solar System — and it may be habitable 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z And then after 4 years, 2 months, and 12 days, we’d finally pass another star, Proxima Centauri. Week in Geek: Light speed edition 2015-02-08T05:00:00Z It’s still possible that Proxima b transits in front of Proxima Centauri, but we don’t know for sure. Exoplanet Proxima b is 'potentially habitable' — so how would we find life if it's there? 2016-08-25T04:00:00Z If New Horizons were racing directly toward Proxima Centauri, it wouldn’t get there for tens of thousands of years. New Horizons has gone to Pluto, and now comes the Great Beyond 2015-09-06T04:00:00Z But undoubtedly the first stop would be nearby Proxima Centauri at only 4.2 light years away in the Alpha Centauri star system. NASA's WISE Mission Shuffles Sun's Nearest Stellar Neighbors 2014-09-29T04:00:00Z And the light fluctuations of Proxima Centauri pointed to the existence of a nearby planet, a finding that was backed up by additional observations from telescopes around the world. A planet orbits around the closest star to our Solar System — and it may be habitable 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Alpha Centauri, only four light-years from here, is actually a double star, Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B. There is a third star, Proxima Centauri, sometimes called Alpha Centauri C, in the system. Plan to Liven Official Naming of Stars and Planets Hits Clunky Notes 2014-08-04T04:00:00Z That means every so often, Proxima Centauri flares and increases in brightness. Exoplanet Proxima b is 'potentially habitable' — so how would we find life if it's there? 2016-08-25T04:00:00Z As the light from the distant star skirts past Proxima, the red star's gravity will bend the beam, divulging our neighbor's mass and perhaps even its planets. Proxima’s Unprecedented Passage: When Stars Align 2014-01-23T20:45:00Z For the most part, Proxima Centauri can’t even be seen with the naked eye. Hubble Catches A Beautiful Glimpse Of Proxima Centauri 2013-10-30T05:55:00Z The planet, called Proxima b, is at least 1.3 times the size of Earth and is most likely rocky, according to research published today in the journal Nature.

Seven Sci-Fi Scenarios For Interstellar Space Travel That Could Happen In This Century 2013-09-30T03:15:00Z This flaring is going to make it very hard to figure out where Proxima b is, even if it does transit. Exoplanet Proxima b is 'potentially habitable' — so how would we find life if it's there? 2016-08-25T04:00:00Z But Proxima Centauri is 13,000 times farther from its bright mates than Earth is from the sun. Proxima’s Unprecedented Passage: When Stars Align 2014-01-23T20:45:00Z Proxima Centauri is a variable star, meaning that its brightness as seen from Earth fluctuates from time to time. Hubble Catches A Beautiful Glimpse Of Proxima Centauri 2013-10-30T05:55:00Z The planet is also super close to Proxima Centauri, located around 4.3 million miles away from the star, or just 5 percent of the distance from the Earth to the Sun. A planet orbits around the closest star to our Solar System — and it may be habitable 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z And neither Proxima Centauri nor its two siblings appear to have planets in the “habitable zone,” close enough to their stars to have liquid water. Seven Sci-Fi Scenarios For Interstellar Space Travel That Could Happen In This Century 2013-09-30T03:15:00Z Yeah, any spacecraft using modern propulsion technology would need tens of thousands of years to reach Proxima Centauri.

Seven Sci-Fi Scenarios For Interstellar Space Travel That Could Happen In This Century 2013-09-30T03:15:00Z Yeah, but wouldn’t it be cool to find alien life on Proxima b? Exoplanet Proxima b is 'potentially habitable' — so how would we find life if it's there? 2016-08-25T04:00:00Z Even by red dwarf standards Proxima Centauri is feeble. Proxima’s Unprecedented Passage: When Stars Align 2014-01-23T20:45:00Z Proxima Centauri is located just over 4 light years away, and is part of the triple-star Alpha Centauri system. Hubble Catches A Beautiful Glimpse Of Proxima Centauri 2013-10-30T05:55:00Z Given this potential, the next step is to get a better look at Proxima b. A planet orbits around the closest star to our Solar System — and it may be habitable 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z As Proxima passes in front of the two background stars, its gravitational field will bend and magnify the distant stars' light, acting like a lens. Hunt For Closest Exoplanet Gets Boost From Rare Stellar Alignment 2013-06-07T20:15:00.677Z So, the nearest star would be some 1000 light years away, compared to 4.2 light years for Proxima Centauri, our nearest stellar neighbor. Sun's Long Term Future Could Lie Outside Milky Way 2013-06-01T03:06:45Z Proxima Centauri orbits them roughly every million years. Proxima’s Unprecedented Passage: When Stars Align 2014-01-23T20:45:00Z Proxima Centauri, on the other hand, is located about 0.24 light years from the other two. Hubble Catches A Beautiful Glimpse Of Proxima Centauri 2013-10-30T05:55:00Z The only way to directly image Proxima b is to somehow separate the star’s light from the light reflecting off the planet. A planet orbits around the closest star to our Solar System — and it may be habitable 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf, meaning it's cooler and smaller than our own sun.

The Lonely Ones 2011-12-16T03:00:11.443Z At certain distances, the cycle becomes totally unmanageable: Traveling on conventional fuel to Proxima Centauri, the next closet star after our sun, for example, would require a tank larger than the visible universe. NASA's plans for manned expedition to Mars may include solar-powered spacecraft 2011-01-25T02:00:03Z That means not less than four and a half light-years away—Proxima Centauri being the nearest star after our Sun, and four and a half light-years from us. The Secret of the Ninth Planet Today’s study was inspired by Guillem Anglada-Escudé, an astronomer at Queen Mary, University of London, who found hints in data of a possible planet orbiting Proxima Centauri. A planet orbits around the closest star to our Solar System — and it may be habitable 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z If we were properly fueled and provisioned," he said without much hope, "I would be in favor of the four of us heading for Alpha or Proxima. Accidental Flight The ring around Proxima was a living ring, superior to anything Terra could throw against it. Mr. Spaceship He will align himself with Proxima Centaurus, gaining speed rapidly. The Variable Man Thane was then in his own normal: black hair and eyes, somewhat over two meters in height, with the heavily tanned Proxima skin. Evil Out of Onzar We may be able to get some answers soon if Proxima b is a transiting exoplanet — meaning it passes between Proxima Centauri and Earth. A planet orbits around the closest star to our Solar System — and it may be habitable 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z They desired, they hoped, they petitioned to be the first to make the long, hard journey to Alpha and Proxima Centauri in rockets. Accidental Flight The world has been fighting for a long time, first with itself, then with the Martians, then with these beings from Proxima Centauri, whom we know nothing about. Mr. Spaceship The attack on Proxima Centaurus had to come—and the sooner the better. The Variable Man Thane wondered just what he was doing here ... why wasn't he on Proxima? Evil Out of Onzar And Proxima b will no doubt provide extra encouragement to people hoping to visit this star system someday — especially those involved in the Starshot project. A planet orbits around the closest star to our Solar System — and it may be habitable 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z After two hundred hours, or when they are well beyond Jupiter, this device will swing the Vulcan straight toward Proxima Centauri, the nearest star. The Indulgence of Negu Mah A human pilot would be dead of heart failure long before the ship got anywhere near Proxima.” Mr. Spaceship The signal had been sent out to the warfleet that had waited so long near Proxima Centaurus. The Variable Man He raised his Stoltz and ... thought of Proxima.... ... he was fifteen and the dance was wonderful.

Mr. Spaceship The bomb came back, dropping below the ftl speed as soon as it entered the star Proxima. The Variable Man It certainly set off her jet-black hair, shining on the terrace, in the light of Proxima's two moons.... Evil Out of Onzar But the likelihood that Proxima b is a transiting planet is very small. A planet orbits around the closest star to our Solar System — and it may be habitable 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z The nearest beacon to the broken-down Proxima Centauri Beacon was on one of the planets of Beta Circinus and I headed there first, a short trip of only about nine days in hyperspace. The Repairman That meant this ship was outbound on the Aldebaran run—Proxima Centauri, Sirius, Pollux, Procyon, Capella and Aldebaran. The Colors of Space A battleship, operating beyond Proxima Centaurus—over eight light years away. The Variable Man Thane told her of life on Proxima, and she told him how she had lived and worked with her father. Evil Out of Onzar Plus, Proxima Centauri is a flare star, meaning its brightness changes in unpredictable ways. A planet orbits around the closest star to our Solar System — and it may be habitable 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z The robot analyzer chuckled to itself and scanned all the stars, comparing them to the spectra of Proxima Centauri. The Repairman Do you wish to be wakened for the week we shall spend in each of the Proxima, Sirius and Pollux systems, sir? The Colors of Space All facts considered, the odds favored a successful repulsion by Proxima Centaurus of a Terran military attack. The Variable Man All I know is that mutations occurred sometime while Proxima Centauri was an orphan system, which enable many of us to make small changes in our appearance. Evil Out of Onzar Proxima b’s unusually close orbit is actually an ideal location for the planet. A planet orbits around the closest star to our Solar System — and it may be habitable 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z Most of the men who go into Civil Service of the Empire come from Earth, or from the close-in planets of Proxima and Alpha Centaurus. The Door Through Space "We didn't head for Proxima Centaurus," said Jones mildly. Operation: Outer Space Astronomers with the European Southern Observatory discovered this planet after continuously observing Proxima Centauri during the first half of 2016 — part of a program called the Pale Red Dot campaign.
