Could We Live on Proxima Centauri b?

Could We Live on Proxima Centauri b? Imagine a planet just 4.2 light-years away that could be humanity's future home. Proxima Centauri b is the closest known exoplanet and sits in the habitable zone of the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, part of the Alpha Centauri triple star system. But is it livable?

In this video, we explore the possibilities and challenges of living on Proxima Centauri b. While it's Earth-sized and in the right zone for liquid water, we still don’t know if it has an atmosphere. And here's the big hurdle—Proxima Centauri is a flare star, blasting out intense radiation that could strip away any atmosphere. Could this planet ever support life?

Join us as we dive into the fascinating possibilities of our potential future home and the challenges we’d face.
