Astronomers might have imaged a ringed planet around Proxima Centauri

In 2016, astronomers working for the European Southern Observatory (ESO) confirmed the existence of a terrestrial planet around Earth's closest stellar neighbor--Proxima Centauri. The discovery of this nearby extrasolar planet (Proxima b) caused no shortage of excitement because, in addition to being similar in size to Earth, it was found to orbit within the star's habitable zone (HZ).
