lashing neon sign on the nearest star
saying: See this right here,” said study
co-author R. Paul Butler of the Carnegie
Institution for Science.
It would take more than eight years
for an energy pulse or radio signal
traveling at the speed of light to go there
and back. NASA’s New Horizons probe,
the fastest spacecraft launched, left Earth
hurtling toward Pluto at about 36,000
mph. At that speed, it would take more
than 78,000 years to get there.
Earlier this year, an all-star team of
scientists and business leaders including
Stephen Hawking announced Break-
through Starshot, a project to send out
hundreds of light-powered space probes
that would weigh about a gram, travel
at one-ifth the speed of light and send
pictures back to Earth.
Even at the hoped-for speed, it will
take 20 years to get there and four more
years for photos to come back. Worden
said he hopes they will launch by 2060.
Yet in the vastness of space, Proxima
b is practically just over the fence, “like
your next-door neighbor,” Butler said.
Proxima b is more than 50 trillion miles
closer than the previous closest poten-
tially habitable exoplanet.

“We hit the jackpot here,” said Guillem
Anglada-Escude, an astrophysicist at the
Queen Mary University of London and
lead author of a study on the discovery
in the journal Nature. He said the planet
is “more or less what we have on Earth.”
They’re calling it Proxima b, and
while it could be like Earth in the
important features, it would probably still
look very alien.
It is 4.6 million miles from its red
dwarf star, or just one-twentieth of the
distance between Earth and the sun,
creating an incredible orange sky with no
blue, so it looks like a perpetual sunset.
And if that’s not different enough, the
planet circles its star so quickly that its
year is about 11 days.
The planet doesn’t rotate, so one side
is always facing its star and the other side
is always dark and colder. It is bombarded
with X-rays and ultraviolet light, but that
wouldn’t necessarily be fatal to life, since
life can exist underground, scientists said.
Scientists in the past 20 years have
found more than 3,000 planets outside
our solar system, or “exoplanets.” And
more than 40 of them seem to be in the
habitable zone.
But this one “basically puts a giant

WASHINGTON (AP) — After
scanning the vast reaches of the cosmos
for Earth-like planets where life might
exist, astronomers have found one right
next door.
A planet that’s rocky like Earth and
only slightly bigger has been discovered
orbiting Proxima Centauri, the nearest
star to our solar system, scientists
reported Wednesday. It is probably in
the not-too-hot, not-too-cold Goldilocks
Zone where liquid water — a key to
life — is possible, if the planet has an
atmosphere.
And it is a mere 4.22 light-years from
Earth, or nearly 25 trillion miles.
It is easily the closest potentially habit-
able planet ever detected outside our solar
system — and one that could be reachable
by tiny, unmanned space probes before
the end of the century, in time for some
people alive today to witness it.
The international team of astronomers
that announced the discovery did not
actually see the planet but deduced its
existence indirectly, by using telescopes
to spot and precisely calculate the grav-
itational pull on the star by a possible
orbiting body — a tried-and-true method
of planet-hunting.
