This animation shows where Proxima Centauri B can be located in the Southern sky. It starts with a view of Earth and the camera moves to a view of the Southern sky, revealing the star constellations. Proxima Centauri is then highlighted and we quickly fly to it. Eventually, the planet unwraps into a flat plane showing a potential planetary surface without clouds.

Proxima Centauri b Climate Model Scenarios
Jan. 23rd, 2020
Read moreProxima b as a water planet with no land and no ocean circulation. Notice the large ocean on Proxima b's starside. Promixa b as a water planet with ocean circulation, but no land. Notice the oddly shaped exposed ocean all around the planet. If the Earth were in Proxima b's location and the same distance from Proxima b's star and the Pacific Ocean was starside, things might look something like this. If the Earth were in Proxima b's location and had its star and was also tidally locked with Africa on the starside, things might look something like this. Proxima Centauri b is the closest exoplanet to Earth. It is only four light years away. NASA scientists studying this exoplanet have applied Earth system science models to generate several different scenarios of what Proxima Centauri b may actually be like. Here are four of those scenarios. Related pages
Earth Versus Proxima Centauri b Rotation Rates
Jan. 23rd, 2020
Read moreEarth spins on its axis every 24 hours. Proxima B is tidally locked and therefore always faces it's star, much like how the moon has one side that always faces Earth. Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours. Proxima B is likely to be tidally locked, and therefore does not have a day/night cycle like earth. Instead one side of the planet is always in daylight and the other side is always in darkness. Proxima Centauri b is the closest exoplanet to Earth. It is only four light years away. However, since Proxima Centauri b is much closer to its star than Earth, there is a high probability that it is tidally locked, much like our Moon, where one side always faces the Earth.

Orbital Differences Between Earth and Proxima Centauri b

Read moreThis data visualization compares the relative distances and speeds of Proxima B's orbit to the Earth's orbit. Proxima B rapidly orbits its sun every 11.2 days. Earth's orbit around the sun takes 365 days to complete. Proxima B's orbit around its star takes 11.2 Earth days to complete. Background image comparing the relative sizes of our Sun to Proxima B's star. Proxima Centauri's radius is approximately 7 times smaller than our Sun's radius. Proxima Centauri b is the closest exoplanet to Earth. It is only four light years away. It's star is a red dwarf that is much smaller than our Sun. However, it is much closer to its star than Earth is to the Sun. It also orbits around it's star at a much faster rate than Earth. Related pages
Earth Climate Models Bring Exoplanet To Life

Read moreMusic: "Machine Learning" by Jon Cotton and Ben Niblett; "No Wave" by Julien Vignon; "The Missing Star" by Matthew Charles Gilbert Davidson; all from Universal Production MusicComplete transcript available. In a generic brick building on the northwestern edge of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center campus in Greenbelt, Md., thousands of computers packed in racks the size of vending machines hum in a deafening chorus of data crunching. Day and night, they spit out five quadrillion calculations per second. Known collectively as the Discover supercomputer, these machines are tasked with running sophisticated climate models to predict Earth’s future climate. But now, they’re also sussing out something much farther away: whether any of the more than 4,000 curiously weird planets beyond our solar system — or exoplanets — discovered in the past two decades could have the ingredients necessary to support life.
