Stellar Alignment: Rare Boost for Alien Planet-Hunting


Proxima Centauri, which lies just 4.24 light-years from Earth, will pass in front of 
background stars in both October 2014 and February 2016. Astronomers 
should scrutinize Proxima during these two periods, looking for subtle 
light shifts that could reveal the presence of close-orbiting planets, a new study reports.
