"We Could Reach In Our Lifetime" Earth-Like Planet Discovered {4.25 Light Years Away}

At 4.25 Light Years away, Proxima Centauri — a red dwarf, hosts a planet in the goldilocks zone making it possible that the planet has liquid water on the surface.




"“We were moving at the technically feasible limit of measurement.”

If the findings are correct, Russian billionaire Yuri Milner’s search for intelligent life could focus on heading to the planet.

As part of Milner’s plans, Project Starshot intends to send a laser-sail driven-nanocraft to Alpha Centauri — the closest star system to the Solar System — in the coming years.

With the craft able to travel up to 20 per cent of the speed of light, if Project Starshot was to rethink its objective, it would be able to reach the Earth-like planet orbiting Proxima Centauri in less than 20 years."

The significance of this finding is that we could all see (at least those who live another 20-25 years) life on another planet if we were to send probes. This is the closest star to our host star and it has an Earth-like planet.
