ESOcast 136 Light - ALMA Discovers Cold Dust Around Nearest Star - HD

Описание

The ALMA Observatory in Chile has detected dust around the closest star to the Solar System, Proxima Centauri. These new observations reveal the glow coming from cold dust in a region between one to four times as far from Proxima Centauri as the Earth is from the Sun. This ESOCast Light takes a quick look at this interesting result and why it is important. Credit/Courtesy: ESO
