Proxima
Centauri, the closest star to the Sun, is about 4 light-years from the
Solar System. Searches for planets have endeavored to find not only
large Jupiter-sized planets, but smaller objects more similar to the
size of the Earth.
The Pale Red Dot campaign, marshaling
astronomical facilities around the world, discovered that an Earth-mass
planet lies in the star system closest to us! It may be that the planet
is cool enough to contain water at the surface. And this is just the
beginning of such discoveries!
Join Tony Darnell and Carol
Christian as they discuss with Michale Endl (The University of Texas at
Austin and McDonald Observatory) and Avi Mandell (NASA Goddard Space
Flight Center,) the search, discovery, and possible nature of this
nearby planet.
The best place to watch the hangout will be on YouTube, broadcast on the Deep Astronomy Channel.
