The exoplanet is in the so called "habitable" zone of its host star Proxima Centauri, which means that it lies in the region where the average temperature is just right for liquid water to exist, which indicate possibility that it can support life. Now, findings of a new study, ..

As the storm moved away, the skeleton crew immediately began to assess the damage.The news from the assessment seems to ..
