Maria Di Paolo et al 2025 ApJL 982 L48 Tidal mixing may play an important role in exoplanetary habitability, especially for planets orbiting
Proxima Centauri b is our closest known habitable-zone exoplanet, just over four light-years away, and it may be warm enough for liquid water if it has kept an atmosphere. But that “if” is enormous: its red-dwarf star blasts it with extreme radiation stro
Proxima Centauri b has a claim no other known exoplanet can match. It orbits the nearest star to the Sun, just over four light-years away, a
Solar geoengineering simulations show uneven ocean cooling, leaving some regions under permanent extreme heat
