Howdy, neighbor! 👋
The star closest to our Sun, Proxima Centauri, also hosts the closest exoplanet to Earth, only 4.2 light-years away. The small star is hard to see, but now there's more reason to look! A possible second planet, Proxima Centauri c, is awaiting confirmation!

beautiful. a useful distance measure would be how long it would take to get there accelerating at 1g for half the distance and decelerating at 1g for the other half. A practical method to maintain gravity on board. Unfortunately I’m far to lazy to try to work it out.

Will we ever get a picture of the planets we are finding? That would be cool.
