Imagine a habitable planet just a stone’s throw away. Enter Proxima b, a planet only 4.3 light-years from Earth. Similar in size to our home and orbiting a Sun-like star, it raises hopes for human colonization. But here’s the catch: one side is permanently bathed in sunlight while the other remains in darkness. Simulations suggest the presence of a vast, albeit frigid, ocean. While Proxima b holds promise, our current spacecraft are far from capable of reaching it. As we ponder its potential, perhaps we should also focus on preserving Earth. Share your thoughts below.
