Proxima Centauri

Astronomers discover an Earth-like exoplanet expected to support life, it's located 11 light years away and is called Ross 128 b

This Earth-sized world, named Ross 128 b, is likely to have a surface temperature that may also be close to that of the Earth,

Astronomers discover cold dust around Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the earth

Both belts are much further from Proxima Centauri than the planet Proxima b, which orbits at just four million kilometres from its parent star, the report noted.

Four Earth-sized exoplanets discovered in orbit around tau Ceti, the closest Sun-like star

The tau Ceti system is an ideal candidate for the search of extraterrestrial life as it has conditions very similar to our own Solar System.

Massive coronal explosion on Proxima Centauri spotted by Astrosat, Chandra and Hubble

Hubble, Astrosat and Chnadra have simultaneously detected a massive coronal explosion on the nearest planet-hosting star 'Proxima Centauri'.

Astronomers discover "hottest gas giant" planet with more than 4,300 degrees of temperature

Because the planet is tidally locked to its star, one side of the planet is always facing toward the star, and one side is in perpetual darkness.

Earth sized exoplanet in orbit around our closest stellar neighbour, Proxima Centauri, could harbour alien life

Computer simulations show that Proxima b could have the potential to be habitable, and could exist in a remarkably stable climate regime.

Proxima b is an Earth like planet orbiting the Sun's nearest star, Proxima Centauri

Astronomers have found clear evidence of a potentially habitable planet orbiting the closest star to our solar system.
