Proxima Centauri system. Animated tour that moves from the Earth to our closest star, Proxima Centauri, a red dwarf star some 4.25 light years from the Sun. The animation shows the orbiting planet Proxima Centauri b, which orbits every 11.2 days. It orbits within the habitable zone (green), which means that liquid water could exist on its surface. The animation then zooms in on the planet itself, showing clouds in its atmosphere and liquid water on its surface. Animation published in 2016. | |
