I spotted a tweet from the BBC a few days back: When you see the BBC asking a question like that on this kind of subject you can guess the answer they'll give before you even click on the article.

Incidentally, the tweet, one of the images within in the article, plus the thumbnail of the embedded video all show children. As someone I follow observed, ''The BBC do like their child pics''.

Proxima Centauri: Transits Amidst the Flares?
[image: Story 509728596] Discovered in 1915, Proxima Centauri has been a subject of considerable interest ever since, as you would expect of the star nearest to our own. But I had no idea research into planets around Proxima went all the way back to the 1930s. Nonetheless, a new paper from Emily Gilbert (University of Chicago) and colleagues mentions a 1938 attempt by Swedish astronomer Erik Holmberg to use astrometric methods to search for one or more Proxima planets.
