One such detail is its distance from Earth. "Lost in Space" showrunner Zack Estrin has saidthat the show takes into account some real-life knowledge about the Alpha Centauri star system to balance reality and fiction in the show. While it's not thought that anything like human life exists in the system, researchers recently unveiled a new space telescope mission, called TOLIMAN, to explore this stellar system further and answer some questions about its planets. However, research has shown that it might not support an Earth-like atmosphere and researchers are still working to understand more about the planet to more thoroughly assess its habitability.
Scientists think that there could possibly be life at Alpha Centauri, and Proxima b is currently thought to be the most likely habitable world in the system, with its Earth-like size and distance from its star. Two of these stars are like our sun and the third is a red dwarf named Proxima Centauri, which has at least two planets orbiting around it, one of which, a planet called Proxima b, scientists think could be an Earth-sized planet that lies in the star's habitable zone (an area around a star that is at a distance where liquid water can exist). The Alpha Centauri system actually has three stars.
