Synopsis

From September 6, 2023. Hosted by Tony Darnell. Astronomers have recently concluded an observation study of the closest exoplanet to Earth, Proxima Centauri b and found that the planet does not transit its star.  These observations settle a question that astronomers have been asking since the exoplanet's discovery in 2016 using the radial velocity method.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
