The developers of Pulsar were kind enough to let me much around with an early Pre-Alpha build of Pulsar - a cooperative starship simulator that takes you and your crew to the farthest corners of the universe on a mission to find the mysterious Lost Colony.

The nearest star to the sun has been intensely studied by the pale red dot project and now astronomers working at ESO have announced evidence for a planet close to the star. Close enough to be in the habitable zone and with a mass that likely makes it a terrestrial planet.
