Astronomers have found evidence for a new planet circling Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to the sun.

Scientists believe the planet orbits about 2.4m miles (4m km) from Proxima Centauri, meaning it is closer to the star than its habitable zone where the temperature range is just right for water to run freely. Details are published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.
