Daily Mail | May 16, 2017 | 'Earth 2.0' COULD be habitable: Climate model suggests Proxima B is likely to have perfect conditions to host alien life |

Researchers have embarked on the first steps to explore the potential climate of the exoplanet, which has been dubbed 'Earth 2.0.' Their findings indicate that the planet has a climate that could be habitable, reinforcing the idea that it could host alien life (artist's impression)

  • Proxima B was discovered in August, and is just 4.2 light years away from Earth
  • Researchers have used a Met Office model to predict the climate on the planet
  • The findings indicate that the planet is in the perfect position to receive the right amount of light to sustain liquid water on its surface
