Proxima Centauri d is relatively close to the Earth and is “within reach of further study and future exploration”

We may have a new planetary neighbor orbiting just four light-years away.

Proxima d might be only a quarter the mass of Earth, potentially making it one of the smallest worlds yet discovered beyond our solar system

Astronomers in Chile have discovered an alien planet called Proxima d, and it's actually quite close to our own solar system.

Astronomers have detected evidence of a third planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, our suns nearest stellar neighbour, some 40 trillion kilometres away.

Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our Sun, lying just over four light-years away (1 light year being nearly 9.5 trillion kilometres). It is a small, red... 10.02.2022, Sputnik International

At just over four light years distant, Proxima Centauri is the closest star to the Sun in the entire Universe. We know it has one planet, called Proxima b, and there's decent evidence of a second, called Proxima c. A team of astronomers has announced there might be a third planet, now too! If confirmed it will be called Proxima d, and would be one of the smallest and lowest-mass exoplanets ever found. Yeah, this may be a big deal.

A team of astronomers says they found evidence of a new planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, aka the star closest to the sun.
