Scientists Were Wrong About the Closest Exoplanet to Earth
Additional Video Information
Astronomers have uncovered a terrifying reality about Proxima b, our closest Earth-like exoplanet located just over four light-years away. Despite orbiting squarely in the habitable zone, this rocky world is getting absolutely blasted by extreme superflares from its host red dwarf star. Observations reveal that these violent stellar eruptions are ten times more energetic than typical flares, unleashing enough ultraviolet radiation to destroy an Earth-like ozone layer in just five years. Instead of a thriving second Earth, scientists now believe stellar winds and intense X-rays have likely stripped away its entire atmosphere, leaving behind a barren, irradiated wasteland.
