Earth's nearest exoplanet could be habitable: Study

A UK-based study has claimed that planet 'Proxima b', orbiting Earth's nearest star 'Proxima Centauri' could be habitable. Researchers simulated various orbital periods for Proxima b and concluded it could host life if its atmosphere was similar to that of Earth. This comes after a recent NASA study that ruled out its habitability citing extreme radiation from its host star.
