Astronomers Discover Another Nearby Planet

Astronomers may have discovered another nearby planet.

  • Scientists have found evidence of a third planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Sun. 
  • Of course, 'close' is a relative term here - Proxima Centauri is four light years away from Earth, or roughly 25 trillion miles.
  • The discovery was made using an instrument called the Echelle Spectrograph for Rocky Exoplanets and Stable Spectroscopic Observations, or ESPRESSO.
  • Do you think we'll ever find life elsewhere in the universe?
