The name Proxima means “next to” or “nearest to” in Latin. Using data obtained from frequent observations of this star over the last 50 years, University of Pitsburgh astronomer George Gatewood recently announced that much of Lalande 21185's wobble is most likely due to an unseen planet with approximately 90% of the mass of Jupiter and an orbital period of 5.8 years. The star can not be seen by the naked eye, you need a telescope to see it. --

Another planet, Lalande 21185 b has a smaller orbit (to lower left of star). Using the original Hipparcos data that was released in 1997, the parallax to the star was given as 392.40000 which gave the calculated distance to Lalande 21185 as 8.31 light years away from Earth or 2.55 parsecs.

Lalande 21185 has an apparent magnitude of 7.49 which is how bright we see the star from Earth. It is the fourth closest star system to the Sun at 8.3 ly. It is named for its discoverer. The New Horizons space probe is the fastest probe that we've sent into space at the time of writing. [Larger]
