Study Suggests Up To One Third Of Planets Could Be Habitable | SYFY WIRE

In SYFY's The Ark (streaming right now on Peacock !) a human crew boards an interstellar spaceship on a one-way trip to Proxima centauri. It's a small red dwarf, one of a binary pair approximately 4.2 light-years from here.

Because Proxima centauri is smaller and less luminous than the Sun, its habitable zone is much closer than ours. Proxima centauri b, the Earth-like planet the crew of the Ark One is headed for, orbits its star at a distance only about 5% the distance between the Earth and the Sun.
