In August 2016, scientists announced the discovery of a planet called Proxima Centauri b.
It is an exoplanet — a planet that orbits a star other than the Sun.
Proxima Centauri b, almost the size of Earth, orbits within the habitable zone of the star Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Sun.

When it was discovered, many scientists had high hopes that is will be safe for life, just like the Earth.
However, a new study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters shows that we probably shouldn’t expect too much.
NASA study on the planet has revealed it is probably a dead zone.
For now we are stuck here on Earth, till whenever a new discovery is made!
Lol. And I have already packed my bags. Dnb really enjoying this your science articles.
They are educative
So some people were planning to live us here on earth to abscond to the other planet?
