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. <br /> <br />This ESOCast Light takes a quick look at this interesting result and why it is important. <br /> <br />Credit/Courtesy: ESO
