Proxima Centauri

The solar system is vast & the space between our star system and our closest neighbor, Proxima Centauri, is even more vast

A pair of physicists demonstrate in a paper that this would give us enough light to see a clear view of exoplanets orbiting the nearby star Proxima Centauri

There’s considerable debate about the true habitability of Proxima b

Tantalising “signal” appears to have come from Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the sun

Astronomers have found a cool, Earth-sized planet that's relatively close to our Solar System, reported BBC. 

The properties of this newly discovered planet - called Ross 128 b - make it a prime target in the search for life elsewhere in the cosmos.

At just 11 light-years away, it's the second closest exoplanet of its kind to Earth.

Stephen Hawking has warned that the human race will perish on Earth after we turn it into a sizzling fireball in less than 600 years.
He declared that humans must “boldly go where no one has gone before” if we fancy continuing our species for another million years.

Astronomers have spotted more than 100 new potential alien planets, including one in the fourth-closest star system to the sun, a new study reports.

Billionaire Russian investor Yuri Milner and British cosmologist Stephen Hawking on April 12 announced an ambitious new space initiative for a mission to Alpha Centauri, the nearest star system to Earth.
