Proxima Centauri b is located within the classical habitable zone and is the closest exoplanet to Earth. It is tidally locked to its star just like the Moon is to Earth. This means one side is always in complete darkness. The bright side has very high temperatures making it too hot to sustain life however NASA’s newer model work suggests that the wind could possibly distribute the heat evenly potentially making the dark side habitable
The James Webb Telescope was launched on December 25, 2021 07:20am EST
Proxima Centauri b is approximately
4.2 light-years from our own solar system
The temperature on Proxima b isTeq: 234 K (−39 °C; −38 °F)
Proxima Centauri is part of the three-star Alpha Centauri system. The other two stars, Alpha Centauri A and B, are similar to our sun.
It cost $10 Billion to create and build the James Webb Telescope
