An Earth-like planet was found in the habitable zone of Proxima Centauri, the star closest to our solar system! Here’s what you should know!

Potentially Earth-Like Planet at Proxima Centauri Is Closest Ever http://www.space.com/33834-discovery-of-planet-proxima-b.html “Astronomers have discovered a roughly Earth-size alien world around Proxima Centauri, which lies just 4.2 light-years from our own solar system. What's even more exciting, study team members said, is that the planet, known as Proxima b, circles in the star's ‘habitable zone’ — the range of distances at which liquid water could be stable on a world's surface.” Rocky planet found orbiting habitable zone of nearest star http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2016-08/cifs-rpf082316.php “Just over four light-years from our Solar System sits a red dwarf star named Proxima Centauri. This cool star in the constellation of Centaurus is too faint to be seen with the naked eye and is close to the much brighter pair of stars known as Alpha Centauri A and B.” Earth-like planet around Proxima Centauri discovered http://phys.org/news/2016-08-earth-like-planet-proxima-centauri.html “For over a century, astronomers have known about Proxima Centauri and believed that it is likely to be part of a trinary star system (along with Alpha Centauri A and B). Located just 0.237 ± 0.011 light years from the binary pair, this low-mass red dwarf star is also 0.12 light years (~7590 AUs) closer to Earth, making it the closest star system to our own.” ____________________ DNews is dedicated to satisfying your curiosity and to bringing you mind-bending stories & perspectives you won't find anywhere else!

if its thay close in a couple years it could get to close and we will all dieeventually wich is not exiting
-
I'm really hopeful about all of this. I'd really like it if it were possible to live on one of these earth like planets in the next 10 years or so.
-
Yessss
-
he said 80,000 year's
-
ONLY 4.2 LIGHT YEARS AWAY??????? Good luck getting there for any real scientific discovery anytime before the end of humanity.

RESEARCH FLAT EARTH
-
hmmm... trace? venus is not in the habitable zone. earth and mars is in the habitable zone.
-
That intro just made my day!
-
asss hole

10% of the speed of light is like 18,600,000 mph, and the fastest man made object is satellite Juno that goes roughly 90,000 mph, that's 0.48% (rounded) of 10% of the speed of light. We ain't going nowhere...
-
may might could possibly likely have the potential to sustain life. we will never know
-
Iiiiiii thought thAt there was a planet called Planet X that is like the sun but 1,000 times hotter and will devoer the world
-
i never heard of faces in the shroud b4 there is a sad woman in the chest look a like under hand thats all i wanted to see there r more im this babes mom how come it was never REALLY looked at B4?
-
So were going to spend Dozens and Dozens of years researching and billions and billions of tax payers money on Research of Space, and Not be able to catch this "New" Earth like Planet, until 2016?
-
heh, I have a book titled "Spacecraft 2000 to 2100" from way back in the day; enemy race we were at war with lived on a planet under similar conditions on Proxima Centauri.
-
I WANT TO GO THERE !!!!!!!!!!!
-
what if the aliens on that planet just discovered earth and they're trying to find a way to get here aswell?
-
anyone know the bgm on this video
-
in the field of astronomy NASA is more greater achievements than USSR because NASA intelligence have the first discovery of thousand planets in a single satellite..
-
I wish mankind may use teleportation now to visit habitable zone planets :)
