The closest star to the Sun is Proxima Centauri and the astronomers might have found a second planet orbiting it. Scientists are calling it Proxima C and looking for more information and clues to prove its existence. If Proxima C exists, it probably not be habitable, considering its distance from the star. The planet might have a freezing hydrogen-helium atmosphere. However, it will be a giant leap for the astronomers.
