Scientists spot what could be another Earth: Rocky neighbor just 25 trillion miles away
2016
Overview
\"We hit the jackpot here,\" said Guillem Anglada-Escude, an astrophysicist at the Queen Mary University of London and lead author of a study on the discovery in the journal Nature. He said the planet is \"more or less what we have on Earth.\" Outside experts praised the finding as rock-solid and thrilling. \"It is inspiring to find a potentially habitable world on our cosmic doorsteps, around our next star,\" said exoplanet expert Lisa Kaltenegger, director of Cornell University's Carl Sagan Institute. \"It is significant because if we needed inspiration to try to reach the next star, now we have it.\" Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb, who isn't part of the discovery team but is advisory board chairman for Breakthrough Starshot, said Proxima might someday prove vital to humanity's future. \"A habitable rocky planet around Proxima would be the most natural location to where our civilization could aspire to move after the sun will die 5 billion years from now,\" he said in an email.
