At first glance, Proxima Centauri seems nothing like our Sun. It’s a small, cool, red dwarf star only one-tenth as massive and one-thousandth as luminous as the Sun.

But the discovery of a planet at least 13 times Earth's mass orbiting very close to a red dwarf only 11% of the sun's mass has astronomers going back to the drawing board on planetary formation ...

Gliese 229 B, discovered in 1995, has long stumped scientists. Now, we know why — it is a binary system of two brown dwarfs orbiting each other, in orbit around their parent red dwarf star.
