Proxima Centauri planet. Artwork of the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri (upper centre), seen from the surface of a hypothetical nearby planet. Proxima Centauri, which lies in the constellation Centaurus, is the nearest star to our Solar System and lies some 4.2 light years from Earth. Red dwarf stars are thought to be the most common stars in the universe. Proxima Centauri is categorised as a flare star, a dim red dwarf star that undergoes random increases in luminosity and radiation emissions because of magnetic activity

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the enigmatic beauty of Proxima Centauri, our closest neighboring star. The red dwarf star takes center stage in this illustration, as it looms above a hypothetical planet's surface. From this vantage point, one can only imagine the awe-inspiring view that would greet any lucky observer. Proxima Centauri resides within the constellation Centaurus and lies an astonishing 4.2 light years away from Earth. As a flare star, it exhibits sporadic increases in luminosity and radiation emissions due to its magnetic activity. This unique characteristic adds to the allure of this celestial body. The rocky terrain of the nearby planet is depicted with intricate detail, featuring towering mountains and deep gullies that traverse its arid landscape. The juxtaposition of these rugged features against the backdrop of space creates a sense of otherworldly grandeur. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable curiosity about what lies beyond our own solar system. This artwork serves as a reminder that there is still so much left to discover in the vast expanse of our universe. With its stunning portrayal of Proxima Centauri and its alien planetary system, this print offers us a glimpse into worlds far beyond our reach - igniting our imagination and fueling our desire for further exploration into the mysteries that lie among the stars.
