The evidence for the age of the Sphinx is not only that it is aligned with Leo rising for 10,500 BC, but also that the erosion on the body of the Sphinx can only be attributed to rainfall, which did not occur in the region much after 10,500 BC.
Proxima Centauri (from Latin, meaning nearest [star] of Centaurus) is a red dwarf, a small low-mass star, about 4.25 light-years from the Sun in the constellation of Centaurus.
Proxima B is also pretty darn close to its star. Where Earth is 93 million miles from the sun on average, Proxmia B and its star are just 4 million miles apartâ5 percent as far. Because red dwarfs are so much cooler than our Sun, the planet can be this close without getting charred to a crisp.
