I doubt it. The habitable zone of such a dim red dwarf is so close to the star that any planets within it would be subjected to tidal locking and direct impact from the full force of solar flares. This would not be the case for planets in the habitable zone around the other two stars in this system.
I doubt it as well. Who knows though - maybe there's a intense magnetic field somehow reinforced by the star, and enough atmosphere for life to exist at the permanent terminator. There's also the possibility of marine or subterranean life. I think the cheapest and fastest way to get the smallest notion is to build a truly massive JWST-like device, specifically to observe that system.
there is one good thing about it, red dwarfs usually have solar flares at the poles but even so the planet probably wouldn't have a terminator zone due to its location to the star
Theres still so much we dont know about life and its ability to adapt to different enviroments. Hell its possible that there are life forms out there that thrive in highly radioactive enviroments we are just much more fragile in comparison
Only one problem, even our fastest probes would take thousands of years to reach Proxima Centauri. Voyager 1 would take 80,000 years to reach it. However, it's not traveling in the right direction.
Continued... For a probe to reach Proxima Centauri it would require: 1. A powerful fuel that is very energy dence, such as antimatter. 2. A very powerful radio transmitter to send information back to Earth. 3. An advance AI system to control the probe as it would take 4.2 years to send instructions to the probe and another 4.2 years before a reply was received. 4. Very durable technology. As it would take 42 years to get there traveling at 10% the speed of light.
@@johnburn8031Exactly, we don’t possess technology that’s able to reach it. I still don’t even understand how we even found out there was another solar system if it’s millions of miles away.
Clever comment mate! Absolute freaking genius! Perhaps a lot of people are blinded by its context about the possibility of life on planets near Proxima B. How about the distance between Earth and Proxima Centauri, ‘just’ 4.2 lightyears….. And that’s possible for us to travel how?
Just because a planet is in the habitable zone and is earth size doesn't mean its habitable, it could very well be a Venus like planet or a mars like planet which are both in the habitable zone btw

Erm, Proxima Centauri is a star in the Alpha Centauri star system.. I think you are describing the planet Proxima Centauri b (lower case). Confusing, but a necessary distinction.
Yeah, the title of this video wasn't thought out. Proxima Centauri is a star. I doubt there is life on the star. The potentially habitable planet is called Proxima Centauri b.

I doubt there is life on this planet. If it's titally locked to its star that means there will be no day and night cycle which will be very difficult to adjust to. I doubt humans could live on a titally locked planet
NASA did find city lights on it.. Even if city lights weren’t there there still could be different species living in betweeen the night and dark. Who knows
True next to the immense amount of radiation that comes from the red dwarf star. It supposedly is emitting 500 times more solar flares than our sun does. I can’t tell with certainty, obviously I’ve never been there before and it’s not documented nor tested before either. So perhaps it’s just 489 times more radiation…. I’ll be excused.
@@ice_editss2how in the world did you fall for the stup!d tik tokers saying a statement “if city lights existed on Proxima Centauri B the JWST could see them” as “the JWST saw city lights on Proxima Centauri B”
Alpha Centauri A and B would still probably look more like very bright stars than sun's. They are about 0.2 light years away from proxima which is close by stellar standards but still very far away
@@haircafekevin thanks. I didn't know they were that far away. Isn't it amazing that the red dwarf Proxima can be that far away and be locked into the orbit of that binary system? Space has always fascinated me. What an alien solar system compared to ours!

You said “although alpha centauri is a much smaller and fainter star” it has to be proxima centauri not alpha
I’m sad :(

HEEEEEHEREE
It's also probably totally locked and it may have a Mars like atmosphere due to the intense activity of its host star stripping away the atmosphere

Thanks for sharing your story!
We know nothing about the planet though, and it's likely that its atmosphere is basically non-existent due to how close it is to its star.
Proxima b is the most blatant click bait of the past 10 years
No lives in Proxima Centauri but there is a giant lives in Alpha Centauri A
Could you provide adequate evidence on such a preposterous claim?

Planets orbiting a dwarf Star are not habitable just because they’re within a theoretical “habitable zone”
Maybe in the efforts of full disclosure, you should mention how it’s tidally locked, and very unlikely to be able to sustain life
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
As a guy in that planet I have no idea why a are you trying to raid our planet in the future
they probabyl ask same for us if they are similar tech advanced or lower

Three body problem says yes!
Yes the Trisolarians live there
We can find many alien centaurs on Proxima...😂
Imagine the disappointment when we finally get a probe there and we find out it’s as dry and airless as Mars.
It probably is because it obits the worst main sequence star ever a red dwarf.

Mass Effect flashback 😅
How tf you know the temp of the planet??
So one way we can determine the temperature of a planet is by measuring the amount of IR radiation it emits at different wavelengths.
Its too far away . Plus we need generation after generation ×1000 to wait for the probe to reach it if it could
Solar sail could reduce that to about 20 years (lasers propel it to 20-30% the speed of light)
No we had the time no1 has...just trust me but if we all alone what then????
