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 ...

Proxima Centauri, just 4.24 light-years from Earth, is the closest known star to our Sun. Though it’s the smallest member of the Alpha Centauri triple system, this red dwarf has captured the ...

HERE’S THE BACKGROUND — Proxima Centauri is a low-mass red dwarf star, thought to be about an eighth of the mass of the Sun and 500 times less bright. Proxima Centauri is located 4.2 light ...

Proxima Centauri, a tiny star located a mere 4.25 light-years from Earth, may host a third planet, according to new research. The nearest star to Earth is a surprisingly busy place, or at least it ...

Artist’s conception of the violent stellar flare from Proxima Centauri discovered by scientists in 2019 using nine telescopes across the electromagnetic spectrum, including the Atacama Large ...

If Proxima c exists, it's likely too cold to host life as we know it on its surface; the putative planet takes 5.2 years to complete one orbit around Proxima Centauri, which is much smaller and ...

Proxima and the Alpha Centauri binary are seen in the background at left. Last spring, an Australian radio telescope recorded an unexplained radio signal emanating from the Proxima system.

If Proxima c exists, it’s likely too cold to host life as we know it on its surface; the putative planet takes 5.2 years to complete one orbit around Proxima Centauri, which is much smaller and ...

Facebook X Reddit Email Scientists at an Australian observatory have been studying a radio signal that appears to originate in Proxima Centauri, the star closest to the sun, to see if it may be a ...
