35 times that of Earth, Ross 128b is the second-closest, potentially Earth-size planet within the habitable zone of its star, after
Proxima Centauri b.
Space weather emitted by
Proxima Centauri, the star closest to our sun, may make that system rather inhospitable to life after all.
At the recently concluded Fall 2017 meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in New Orleans, scientists from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) presented a paper that spoke about a prospective mission to our nearest stellar neighbor,

A conventional rocket would take 120,000 years to reach Proxima b, which orbits the red dwarf star
Proxima Centauri.
The lasers would blast them up to one-fifth of light speed in a few minutes, and then they cruise for twenty years or so until they reach their destination -- in the first instance,
Proxima Centauri, the nearest star
Pereira also sees Air Force cooperation with commercial companies developing space flight technologies as a benefit to both, from developing suborbital space planes, manned capsules and space waypoints, or "hotels", to projects as ambitious as Breakthrough Starshot, a proposed mission to send a microchip all the way to Proxima B, an exo-planet orbiting the star
Proxima Centauri, and transmit data back to Earth.
The exoplanet Proxima b was discovered at our cosmic doorstep, orbiting
Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to our sun.
It circles
Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to our sun.
In August, breathless headlines heralded the discovery of a small, potentially habitable planet orbiting
Proxima Centauri, a dim red dwarf star just 4.
The Parkes radio telescope in New South Wales has been pointed towards
Proxima Centauri, a red dwarf star 4.
3 light-years, this system is made up of the binary formed by the stars Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B, plus the faint red dwarf Alpha Centauri C, also known as
Proxima Centauri.
