50 Years Ago: Apollo 16 on the Moon at Descartes

Apollo 16 entered lunar orbit on April 19, 1972. The next day, astronauts John W. Young and Charles M. Duke separated their Lunar Module (LM) Orion from Thomas K. “Ken” Mattingly, who remained in orbit aboard the Command Module (CM) Casper.

The nearest exoplanet is just 4 light-years away, but it's hard to study because it doesn't transit (or cross the face of) its star to our view. Proxima b is probably a rocky world under an orange-red sun, with two neighboring stars bright in the sky. go.nasa.gov/3mEJ46M
#NASAExoplanets

An Earth-like atmosphere may not survive Proxima b's orbit

Proxima b, an Earth-size planet right outside our solar system in the habitable zone of its star, may not be able to keep a grip on its atmosphere, leaving the surface exposed to harmful stellar radiation.
