Using ALMA, astronomers discovered that Proxima Centauri produces frequent, high-energy millimeter-wavelength flares that could significantly alter or strip the atmospheres of its habitable-zone ...

"Our Sun’s activity doesn’t remove Earth’s atmosphere and ... one of the authors, in a statement. "But Proxima Centauri’s flares are much more powerful." The study relied on the Atacama Large ...

Known to host a potentially habitable planet, the star Proxima Centauri exhibits very active flare activity in optical wavelengths. Similar to flares on our sun, these outbursts release light ...

Researchers mapping a bubble of superheated gas that surrounds our solar system found a surprise, there is a tunnel that may ...

Clear evidence of a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Solar System ... This rocky world is a little more massive than the Earth, and is the closest planet outside our Solar ...

Meadows and Currie started by simulating the ELT's eventual review of Proxima Centauri (the nearest star to Earth after our Sun) and its planetary neighborhood. Just 4.24 light-years away ...

In 2016, researchers at Queen Mary discovered an exoplanet, Proxima b, orbiting our nearest star, Proxima Centauri. An exoplanet is a planet outside our own solar system. This is the closest such ...

The solar system is made up of the Sun (our nearest star) and the objects that orbit around it, including planets, asteroids and comets. Planets orbit the Sun in roughly circular paths ...

Proxima Centauri, a star four light-years from the ... even if it were otherwise an Earth doppelganger. "Our Sun’s activity doesn’t remove Earth’s atmosphere and instead causes beautiful ...
