In one of the closest systems from the Solar, a planet was discovered that is similar to the Earth. It happened two years ago. Since then, scientists all over the world have hid the hope that this celestial body may be inhabited.
Unfortunately, most modern research has not confirmed the existence of life on Proxima b. In addition, a nearby star constantly attacks the planet's surface with hot streams of cosmic plasma. However, recent studies by NASA specialists have shown that the surface of a celestial body may contain water. Although, the fact of constant exposure to X-rays of the surface of Proxima has not been refuted.
So far, the main mysteries lie in the planet's atmosphere, or rather, in its presence or absence. Only after discovering this fact, scientists will be able to continue their research in this direction and consider each of the hundreds of possible scenarios in turn. Among them, by the way, there is a hypothesis that the planet originally had hundreds of times more water than on Earth. Over time, most of it evaporated, however, the remaining amount is still enough to have a huge ocean on the surface.
The hope for the existence of life on the planet remains, in addition, Proxima Centauri often exhibits abnormal and unexplained behavior.
