Astronomers announced on Wednesday that they had detected a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, the closest neighbor to our solar system. Intriguingly, the planet is in the star’s “Goldilocks zone,” where it may not be too hot nor too cold. That means liquid water could exist at the surface, raising the possibility for life.
Proxima Centauri, like Alpha Centauri? Fire up the Jupiter 2, we're already 19 years past the 1997 launch date shown in the LIS pilot.

Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf. It will still be burning steadily when Sol has gone nova and swallowed the Earth as a red giant.
