Expectations of scientists looking for life in other planets of the universe may come as a shock. Until now, it was believed that the closest planet like Earth could have life chances on Proxima b, but in a new report, its chances are less. The planet revolves around the Red Dwarf star Proxima Centauri. In the research conducted so far, it was believed that water can be in a liquid state, which can also lead to life.

Located just 4.2 light-years away from the Earth, the planet is at a reasonable distance from its closest star, but it is getting deadly radiation continuously. Because of this, there is less chance of life on it. Research by Astronomers of the University of Sydney has revealed that a red Dwarf star like Proxima Centauri continuously emits ionizing radiation through large amounts of a solar flare and radio burst.

Proxima Centauri is colder than the sun

For this reason, the presence of any life is not possible. Researchers say that Proxima b is likely to fall within this scope. Proxima Centauri is the closest star on Earth. It is colder than in the sun. Therefore, the life expectancy range is much closer to its surface. Of our 100 billion stars in Milky Way, 85% are Red Dwarf while only 7% are stars like the Sun.

About four years ago, the discovery of Proxima b saw great excitement in the science world. However, with the help of the technology that we have right now, it will take thousands of years to reach there. At the same time, after the latest research, there has been doubting on whether there can really be a possibility of life presence there. Along with this, it is also to be understood that there is a possibility of life around Red Dwarf.
