An artist's impression of a flare from Proxima Centauri, modeled after the loops of glowing hot gas seen in the largest solar flares. Exoplanet Proxima b is shown in the foreground. Proxima b orbits ...
At just over four light years distant, Proxima Centauri is the closest star to the Sun in the entire Universe. We know it has one planet, called Proxima b, and there's decent evidence of a second, ...
Quick. What's the closest star after the sun? If you said Alpha Centauri you're one-third correct. Alpha is actually a triple system comprised of Rigil Kentaurus (Alpha Centauri A), Toliman (Alpha B) ...
Astronomers have found evidence of a third planet around the closest star to the sun, reinforcing the idea that planets are common around the stars of the galaxy, even some of its smallest. And while ...

The most exciting exoplanet discoveries of 2025
In 2025, astronomers sharpened their view of the planetary system around Proxima Centauri — the sun's closest stellar ...
In August astronomers announced that the nearby star Proxima Centauri hosts an Earth-sized planet (called Proxima b) in its habitable zone. At first glance, Proxima Centauri seems nothing like our Sun ...
Space exploration is one of the most far-reaching and creative activities humans are currently engaged in. But for all the money being spent and the efforts being made, it's a kind of activity that ...
In this video, we dive deep into Proxima b, the famous exoplanet orbiting our nearest stellar neighbor, Proxima Centauri and reveal why turning it into humanity’s “Plan B” could be a huge mistake.
The ALMA Observatory in Chile has detected dust around the closest star to the Solar System, Proxima Centauri. These new observations reveal the glow coming from cold dust in a region between one to ...
The sun isn’t the only star to produce stellar flares. On April 21, 2021, a team of astronomers published new research describing the brightest flare ever measured from Proxima Centauri in ultraviolet ...
Astronomers may have detected a new exoplanet around Proxima Centauri, the star closest to our solar system. This tiny new world is one of the lightest ever discovered, which is even more impressive ...
What is life like on Proxima b? This planet in the next star system along is, at just four light-years, by far the closest Earth-like planet we know about. The answer could be depressing: there is no ...
