A distant planet orbiting two stars, found by its warping of spacetime, has been confirmed using observations from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.
A rocky extrasolar planet with a mass similar to Earth’s was recently detected around Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to our sun, and it could be habitable.
The finding is "an important clue to figuring out the process by which our Solar System formed, and might help us understand where habitable planets are likely to be found."
