Closest Star has Potentially Habitable Planet
The closest star to our Sun, Proxima Centauri, has a planet similar to Earth. Named Proxima b, it orbits in a zone where its surface temperature could allow liquid water, a key ingredient for life. While we do not know if Proxima b has life, its potential for liquid water makes it an intriguing target for future exploration.
