That planets distance from its red dwarf sun/star is only 19 times the distance our moon is from earth yet temps would be life sustaining for little green men
Our own Mercury is nearly 9 times as far away from our Fat Old Sun as proxima b is from its sun Proxima Centauri the red dwarf
Amazing stuff
I think our very own Oort Cloud which is the outer limits of our solar system..Hill Sphere sorta the limit of our sun gravity pretty much is also only 3 or less light years in some outer points from the Alpha Centauri system and is affected to some degree by that gravitational pull as well
the beginning of interstellar space for us
I love this stuff
Thanks for posting
I read astronomy for leisure.....I have pondered the vastness since I was a kid when camping out in rural areas with good visible night sky panorama
The two times I’ve been near death in my life I’ve had an impulse to be outside to see the sky as a conduit of comfort considering I was in serious mortality trouble
I wonder if that’s normal
Sometimes I feel I can sense Gods portal through it all....it’s just nothing to our creator....like opening a box to us...at most
It’s like watching a birth or watching folks face certain death doing the right thing ....watching the vastness of space inspires confidence in our Lord or a creator
Wonder how many astronomers and astrophysicist are non believers
Not many obstetricians or oncologists are atheists
The Centauri group is really close relatively speaking in our galaxy
