Astronomers have found evidence of a new planet that is orbiting the star closest to the sun.
According to reports, the scientists used the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile, to confirm their findings - which was a body orbiting Proxima Centauri.
Proxima Centauri is a small, low-mass star located 4.2465 light-years away from the Sun in the southern constellation of Centaurus which was discovered in 1915 by Robert Innes.
