- Astronomers have found an Earth-like planet orbiting the closest star to our Solar System, Proxima Centauri. This next-door planet is warm enough for liquid water, is almost certainly rocky and terrestrial, and could even have an atmosphere. It's named Proxima B. http://www.popularmechanics.com/space/deep-space/news/a22522/nearest-planet-proxima-b/ 4824 comments space

- Astronomers find a 2nd planet around Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Sun (4.2 light-years). The new planet, Proxima c, is at least 6 Earth masses and orbits its red dwarf host every 5.2 years. The system now has both an Earth-like world in its habitable zone and a more distant super-Earth. http://www.astronomy.com/news/2020/01/second-terrestrial-planet-found-around-closest-star-to-the-sun 17 comments worldnews

- Astronomers have discovered a super-Earth six light-years away around Barnard's Star, the second closest star system to Earth. The new planet has a frigid orbit that puts it far beyond the "snow line" in this solar system, which is a whopping 12 billion years old. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/d-brief/2018/11/14/barnards-star-b-uninhabitable-life-aliens-exoplanet/#.w-xiyxpkgmi 7 comments science
- Mars will be at its closest point to our planet in 15 years throughout July, making for some prime nighttime viewing. That's because of a phenomenon called perihelic opposition, in which Earth's and Mars' orbits align, bringing the two planets closer together. https://www.businessinsider.com/mars-to-be-the-brightest-it-has-been-in-15-years-2018-6?r=us&ir=t 4 comments space

- Astronomers have found a cool, Earth-sized planet called Ross 128b that's relatively close to our Solar System, 11 light years, the second closest exoplanet of its kind. It orbits close to a red dwarf that is comparatively 'quiet', i.e. does not emit superflares or excess ultraviolet radiation. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-41995572 103 comments space
