Summary

Description
English: This artist’s impression shows a view of the surface of the planet Proxima b orbiting the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Solar System. The double star Alpha Centauri AB also appears in the image to the upper-right of Proxima itself. Proxima b is a little more massive than the Earth and orbits in the habitable zone around Proxima Centauri, where the temperature is suitable for liquid water to exist on its surface.
Français : Cette représentation d’artiste montre une vue de la surface de la planète Proxima b en orbite autour de la naine rouge Proxima du Centaure, l’étoile la plus proche du Système Solaire. Le système d’étoiles double Alpha Centauri AB figure en haut à droite de Proxima. Proxima b est dotée d’une masse légèrement supérieure à celle de la Terre et décrit une orbite autour de Proxima Centauri, au sein même de la zone d’habitabilité de cette étoile, de sorte que sa température de surface est compatible avec la présence d’eau liquide.
