The closest exoplanet to us, Proxima Centauri B has captivated the imaginations of scientists for years. Why? Because it is about the same size as the Earth and it orbits its star within the habitable zone, meaning it could be a world capable of supporting life, and it’s right next door! So could this mysterious exoplanet really host alien life? Some scientists think so and they have simulated how.

I wonder if we will ever get an exoplanet simulator on Quest.
In the starry embrace of Proxima Centauri's glow,
Scientists whisper secrets, a cosmic ebb and flow.
On Proxima Centauri B, a distant sphere,
Could life awaken, a cosmic frontier?
In the dance of starlight, a planet unfurls,
Proxima Centauri B, where possibility swirls.
Scientists dream in the language of stars,
Could life emerge on distant cosmic bars?
A rocky haven in the cosmic sea,
Proxima Centauri B, where life could be.
A whisper of hope in the stellar night,
Scientists ponder in the soft starlight.
An exoplanet, a cosmic chance,
Life's delicate waltz, a celestial dance.
In the embrace of Proxima's tender kiss,
Could life bloom in the cosmic abyss?
Oh, Proxima Centauri, in your cosmic glow,
Scientists speculate, letting imaginations grow.
On Proxima Centauri B, a potential abode,
Life's silent journey, in the cosmic code.
In the cosmic symphony, a hopeful refrain,
Scientists ponder, breaking free from the chain.
Life on Proxima Centauri B, a celestial dream,
In the vast cosmic ocean, a ripple in the stream.
A distant world, in the starry ballet,
Proxima Centauri B, where life may sway.
Scientists dream, in the soft starlight,
Of life's potential, taking cosmic flight.
In the tapestry of space, a story untold,
Proxima Centauri B, where mysteries unfold.
Scientists think, with eyes set afar,
Could life be dancing on a distant star?
So, let the cosmic winds carry the tale,
Of Proxima Centauri B, where hopes set sail.
In the celestial haven, where dreams may thrive,
Scientists wonder if life can survive.
I feel like ,this video was made just because of (long) video ADD .
This is all speculation. But still awesome 🤩
I used to love these kinds of videos but i don't watch them anymore cause the things said in these types of videos are just wrong. I want space videos that are gonna go beyond what NASA and the government want us to know. THERE IS LIFE OUT THERE IN SPACE! Its on our own damn moon! Come on now. If ur not going to do some real research and give us truthful honest space content, then these types of videos are really useless information. Its the same information being said over and over with different pictures😒
Earth is the only planet with carbon based lifeforms in the universe. All other lifeforms are in another dimension and or invisible.
Here's my prediction. There's no life on Proxima Centauri B or in the universe, we're it. Just as all the "this planet is habitable and capable of sustaining life, whoops never mind!" failures.
That's my prediction based on a long list of failures from the so-called scientists.
I have never seen the stars. I think the most I've ever seen was 8 that I could count. There was one time I got a quick glimpse. But only that. We were dropping a friend off at college in some far suburb. At one point I happened to glance up and saw the sky. But it was late and very far and my friend was eager to get home. I had to get in the car immediately. I don't even remember what I saw.
LIFE 🎉
FINDS A WAY ⬆️

"Even within our solar system, it is now thought to be a possibility that life could have independently sprouted up in a few different places."
How, exactly did life "sprout up"? It's fascinating how these types of videos never answer that.
as usual amazing and informative
IF it has liquid and IF iy has an atmosphere, considering it's tidally locked, imagine the winds on this thing.
it sucks that despite red dwarfs making up at least 3 quarters of all stars (in the milky way anyway) and have a life span longer than all other types of stars combined, scientists see just as little likelihood for life around the common and long living red dwarf stars as the very rare and quickly dying blue stars. let's hope that if we ever get the potential to discover new life, we can also discover that it is indeed possible for red dwarf stars to have planets teeming with life despite the extreme hostile conditions of the star
Red Dwarfs are unstable due to their nuclear core being so close to the surface, (Flares) yet most of the light is not in the visible spectrum (Dim). There is a better chance of life on Mercury then Proxima B. Cheaper to explore too (and possible)
Shame the gmt will be limited sitting on earth's surface. It's also a shame i will be dead before we send probes to scower around and image the planet. Then an additional 4 years to get the data back. Im jealous of what tech people will have that we would find game-changing, but to them, it is normal.
Our fastest Space Craft would take 678.53 Years to get there. 27 Generations later. Begin 1345, Arrive 2024.
186,000 / (394,736 / 360) * 4 Light Speed mps / ( Fastest Space Craft [2023] mph to mps) * 4 Years.
169.63 Years for a Space Craft to travel the distance of one Light Year.
4 Generations of Humans to walk the circumference of the Sun.
Yes, I did the whole "look at the night sky and wonder if something's looking back thing" – then I learned about the speed of light and just how far away in space and time most other stars were and thus knew the answer was "Not bloody likely."
edit: And planets around Proxima Centauri have been confirmed? Did we have actual visual sightings of them and not just the usual occasional variation in the star's light that we've decided must mean planets?
No life there
Ha anyone ever sat down and calculated the probabilty of life appearing on a planet? It is like a combination lock with a large number of tumblers, all of which must attain alignment at least once: you are in the territory of the monkeys, the typewriters and the works of Shakespeare. Now correlate that probability expression with the number of earth-format planets/exoplanets/satellites within communication distance of the earth. You're probably now still in the area of "extremely improbable".
back at it again with another great video keep up the marvelous job {ROB}
Awesome Video 😄😄
Or just maybe..we are the only ones in the universe..😮
If a ship travels at a constant 1g acceleration rate it would get to Alpha Centauri in 3.6 years (7.3 years would pass on Earth) this includes turning the ship around halfway to decelerate. It would achieve about 95% light speed in 1 year. A 10 ton ship would require 10 tons of continuous thrust. This is by far the fastest way we can get to other worlds and the ship would have gravity the whole way.
All that is needed for this is a fission rocket that can put out thrust for long periods and does not consume hydrogen, you can't bring thousands of tons of that with you.
A true fission rocket should consume uranium or plutonium only. They are both jittery atoms that are on the verge of fissioning all by themselves. There should be a way to get them to fission in a linear fashion. What's needed is a controlled, time released nuclear explosion.
In an atomic bomb fission occurs when neutrons hit uranium or plutonium nuclei. This is because they will not tolerate an increase in mass. Due to the equivalence of mass and energy, the same should be true if you infuse them with energy. This might be as simple as having negatively charged uranium or plutonium atoms coming into contact with positively charged uranium or plutonium atoms.
With the constant acceleration method a ship can span the entire diameter of our galaxy in 24 ship/113,000 Earth years. Systems with stars similar to our sun can be reached in under 10 ship years.
Statler: You suppose they have any life on other planets?
Waldorf: What do you care? You don't have any life on this one! Hohoho!
Fascinating
Writer research questions: If Proxima had a yellow sun like ours could it be habitable even though tidally locked? Any theories on what type of lifeforms would occur there on either the light and dark facing?
It would be amazing if there was actually life there as well 😊 that way one of the most important questions can be answered
Sure lol
I'm a fan of "Scientists". This hive mind entity we calls Scientists seems like a sharp person. Although I'm always confused when he/she/it both blindly believes something or can't explain something, depending on who's talking about Scientists.
So the Magellan scope will be able to directly image Prox b, but JWST can’t?
Or is it won’t?
I love this channel
Proxima B has spent the last few billion years being blasted by megaflares, it's almost certainly an airless, dessicated rock.
The Trisolarans came from there until the entire system was wiped out by another planet in the Dark Forest.
I enjoyed the informative video with gratitude.
Awesome brother
Id like to think of proxima b as being inhabited by tall blue aliens with dreadlocks 😋
What???!!! I was just yesterday, trying to find out about PHAETON in Alpha Centauri !! And i couldn't find much out… So??? Anyone???? 🙂
Please weigh the pros and cons of a four light year experiment against building many gravity neutral orbital environs, i.e., Lagrange, a much greater increase in population and resource acquisition over next 200 year or so. At the same time, we probe the distance for humans transcendence.
Good science. Frustration of 4.2 LY.
I think we need a better robot than a metallic-looking flake of plastic if we're going to Proxima B.
Very interesting
