Two exoplanets have been confirmed orbiting Proxima Centauri, the star closest to our Sun. One exoplanet, discovered in 2016, is slightly larger than Earth and resides within its star's habitable zone ...

What if the nearest star to our solar system had planets orbiting around it? Science already knows of one planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, a star just 4.2 light years distant. Now astronomers have ...

Astronomers just measured the largest flare ever from Proxima Centauri, humanity’s closest neighboring star. These flares could be bad news for life trying to develop on a planet orbiting the star. We ...

Astronomers believe they have discovered a new world orbiting Proxima Centauri. Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our Solar System. It's located roughly 4 light-years away. As such, it has long ...

A new planet has been discovered in our galactic neighborhood. A team of astronomers has found evidence of a third planet orbiting around the nearest star to our Solar System, Proxima Centauri. Due to ...

Earth may have a new planetary neighbor, orbiting around the next-nearest star system to our own. This new neighbor, residing just 4.2 light years away, is strangely reminiscent of Earth, with some ...

Alpha Centauri, one of the two "Pointer Stars" that help stargazers find the Southern Cross in the Southern Hemisphere, may have a planet in orbit around it. If it does, the Webb Telescope will find ...

BERKELEY, California — Not just one, but two planets might be orbiting the nearest star to our sun, a small red dwarf called Proxima Centauri that’s about 4.24 light-years away. If the planet is there ...

Scientists have spotted the largest flare ever recorded from the sun’s nearest neighbor, the star Proxima Centauri. The research, which appears today in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, was led by ...

Just a cosmic hop, skip and jump away, an Earth-size planet orbits the closest star to our sun, Proxima Centauri. Ever since the discovery of the exoplanet — known as Proxima Centauri b— in 2016, ...
