   The nearest habitable world beyond our Solar System might be right on our   
   doorstep - astronomically speaking.  Scientists say their investigations of   
   the closest star, Proxima Centauri, show it to have an Earth-sized planet   
   orbiting about it.  What is more, this rocky globe is moving in a zone that   
   would make liquid water on its surface a possibility.  Proxima is 40   
   trillion km away and would take a spacecraft using current technology   
   thousands of years to reach.
