Answer 2

Small variations in Proxima Centauri's movement across the sky have suggested that it may be orbited by a planet with a mass 80 per cent that of Jupiter.

Answer 3

If there is any they have not been spotted yet ?.

Proxima Centauri is a Red Dwarf and is not that bright, so it does not illuminate any planets that may be in orbit around it ?.

Answer 4

None have been discovered yet. it is an M5.5V purple dwarf, so any planet with temperatures close to to those on the earth could could desire to be approximately 8 to ten million miles from it. complication is, Proxima, like pretty much all stars of its type, is a flare celebrity, and the flares are useful sufficient to scorch the surfsce of a planet that close.

Answer 5

The odds are stacked in favour of it having planets ,be they possibly small and have not yet been detected by swing
