Live Search for Planets around Proxima Centauri Continues

they are about to continue the hunt for the nearest exoplanets.
Their targets? Neighbouring red dwarfs
Barnard's star​, Ross 154 ​— and again Proxima Centauri
You can follow the search live​, access data & even contribute your own observations​.
