The first step in the #SearchForLife is finding planets that could potentially be habitable. To do that, scientists often compare features on other planets -- water, atmospheres, temperature -- to the only planet we currently know of that supports life: Earth! Proxima Centauri b is one exoplanet that could be a candidate for conditions friendly to life, but it's way too far away to study by direct observations. As a substitute, researchers took what we know about Proxima Centauri b and fed it to
