This artist’s impression shows the planet Proxima b orbiting the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Solar System. ESO/M. Kornmesser Our nearest exoplanet discovered so far is ...

Since the first confirmation of an exoplanet in 1995, there have been more than 4,000 such impressive discoveries. Taking images of them, however, has proven to be a difficult task considering that ...

An artist’s impression of the Proxima Centauri planetary system, with exoplanet Proxima c on the right. Lorenzo Santinelli, CC BY-SA Astronomers have discovered what appears to be a second exoplanet ...

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 c, a candidate second planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, was detected with the radial velocity method. The announced long orbital period (5.21+0.26−0.22 years), and small semi-amplitude of the ...

Proxima Centauri b is the closest world beyond our solar system that we know of, but scientists are checking to see if it's alone. Eric Mack has been a CNET contributor since 2011. Eric and his family ...

In 2016, astronomers discovered a potentially habitable, roughly-Earth-sized exoplanet just four light-years away – and now new observations suggest it isn’t alone. Scientists in Chile have detected ...

A second planet could be revolving the Proxima Centauri -- the Proxima c It is a super-Earth but uninhabitable More studies required to confirm the existence of Proxima c Earth’s nearest neighbouring ...
