Animation of a flight over the surface of the planet Proxima b. This is a roughly Earth-sized rocky planet that orbits the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our Sun. The bright double star Alpha Centauri is seen in the sky to the left of Proxima Centauri, and aurorae are seen in the atmosphere. The discovery of Proxima b was announced in August 2016. The star lies some 4.2 light years from the Sun. | |
