Astronomers used ALMA to observe Proxima Centauri and found frequent, intense flares that could destroy atmospheres of nearby ...

Using ALMA, astronomers discovered that Proxima Centauri produces frequent, high-energy millimeter-wavelength flares that ...

A small star just over four light-years from Earth has just made a very big statement. In a groundbreaking new study, ...

At a distance of just over four light years, Proxima Centauri is our nearest stellar neighbor and is known to be a very ...

Only a few years ago, astronomers heralded the discovery of a rocky world circling the sun 's closest space neighbor, Proxima ...

The study sheds light on Proxima Centauri’s unusually robust magnetic field, which fuels its flaring activity. As its ...

The closest planet to Earth outside of our solar system might not be a place you'd want to visit. Researchers have found that the planet — called Proxima b — was likely bathed in radiation ...

Early simulations show that it would take only 10 hours for the forthcoming ELT to find signs of life near Proxima Centauri.

For the closest star, Proxima Centauri, we could detect life on an Earth-like world with only 10 hours of observation. For a Neptune-sized world, the ELT could capture planetary spectra in about ...

We aren't talking about "little green men" here, however — more "little (and not so little) gray rocks," asteroids from the triple star system Alpha Centauri. Alpha Centauri is the closest star ...

Proxima Centauri, a star four light-years from the sun, shoots out a violent solar flare in this artist's depiction.
