The existence of a potentially habitable planet orbiting our closest neighbor, the red dwarf Proxima Centauri, is both an extremely exciting event and sort of "more of the same." While Proxima b is ...

Attention human. You are receiving an interstellar radio transmission. And it could be coming from one of the nearest ...

Astronomers using ESO telescopes and other facilities have found clear evidence of a planet orbiting the closest star to Earth, Proxima Centauri. The long-sought world, designated Proxima b, orbits ...

The closest star to Earth, Proxima Centauri (PC), is still about 8000 times further away from us than Pluto. Propelling a probe to PC will require a much higher cruising speed than we can currently ...

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 ...

Humans have dreamed about traveling to other star systems and setting foot on alien worlds for generations. To put it mildly, interstellar exploration is a very daunting task. As we explored in a ...

Proxima Centauri b is the closest exoplanet to Earth. It is an Earth-mass world right in the habitable zone of a red dwarf star just 4 light-years from Earth. It receives about 65% of the energy Earth ...

A 36-mile-long starship designed to carry 1,000 humans on a one-way trip to the nearest known exoplanet has won a major interstellar design competition, raising hard questions about what it would ...

Well, it might be aliens. Then again, in the tradition of Pogo it might just be us, led astray by our own technology. A story in Britain’s Guardian newspaper today (December 18) reports that ...

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 ...
