The British science magazine NEW SCIENTIST reports in the January 31
issue that the Hubble Space Telescope has imaged an object which is
apparently orbiting around Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Sun.
This object is speculated to be either a brown dwarf or a planet "at least
ten times the size of Jupiter."
