Just four light-years away from Earth, sits the closest exoplanet that scientists have discovered. Proxima Centauri b. And it could be the first exoplanet where we find extraterrestrial life. Who better to check it out than our interstellar team member, Chase?

Hi, just wondering if there is gonna be more Chase trespass in space?? I hope you explore more of Chase world like a movie where we would have to imagine Chase real life and how tine reversal bring back Chase ..? Sort of
Mona kitab.
Humans will never colonize space, It's impossible for numerous reasons, We need to give this myth a permanent break.
Do astronomic photos reveal if there are different climate zones in the habitable zone of Proxima b? In this video we are to presume the entire planet is rocky like Mars. It wouldn’t even be worth such a long journey if there’s not even an ocean and some plant life.
11:18 "Which way is north?"
Just look for Polaris?
Try looking for moss on trees.
Or, I know, since Proxima Centauri B has a magnetic field, try calibrating your compass to its magnetic pole before you wander off into the dark, then use that as a reference point.
You did bring a compass, right?
Without that, you could set up a beacon at your base then never wander farther than its broadcast range.
Too late for sciency solutions.
Guess you're gonna die, amigo.
i watched this series called Another Life on Netflix and i feel they came close to telling us about aliens and how advanced they are or not! some told me 3 Body Problem is better but i haven't watched it yet!!
Make chase.exe
And chase will be bored because he did not bring a comic or something
Chase don’t be silly you will die because you might be hungry
7:27 LMAO WHA—
Searched this video up cause i wanted to know what planet was closest to be our copper 9 from murder drones
Especially the lifespan of the universe is 13.8 billion years
If it was shiny for trillion of years, the universe would’ve been gone
Goofy
Why ? 🤔
Thank u 🙏 from uk 🇬🇧 luv space channels
Poor chase does suffer
Detecting multiple leviathan class predators in the area
Isn't this the planet from 3 Body Problem?
What a horrible channel
Friend, you have the timeline wrong; Ross 248 (HH Andromeda) may in 80 000 years become the closest star to our solar system. 🙂
"just" 4 light years…lol
07:59
This would be better if it were handled like a true study instead of a silly comedy!
No one alive today will ever see Proxima B with their own eyes, but the next best thing is in the works! The "Breakthrough Starshot" initiative aims to send a swarm of "StarChip" probes to Proxima B, using powerful ground-based lasers to accelerate them to 20% of the speed of light. The 4.24 light-year journey is expected to take 20 to 30 years. They'll then take high-resolution images of the planet (which will be sent back to Earth at light-speed).
I say we sent Elon up there to find out
Yeah, it might be
Scary part: if it's habitable then how would our bodies will be resistant to the pathogens living in that planet!!!?
Is this character chase getting popular?
なんかこいつの顔LGBTQのオカマゲイ野郎みたいな顔してるな😂
12:22–12:30 I was expecting let it go from frozen to be playing😂😂😂(joke)
We know nothing about this planet. Its simply too far
I know this is a channel for kids, but Sol is a quiet star. Other G type stars like Sol have a lot more flares than our star. Proxima is also a quiet red dwarf with its flares emitting from its poles
We dont even have a picture of the planet but u know “what if” about it lmao
4:57 chase REALLY had enough💀💀
who resurrects Chase after he dies?
Behind you
It’s almost certainly tidally locked which means there may be a small habitable zone.
This planet us tidel locked.
3:53 i love it
That diameter is not super earth earth is the same size.get your facts right.
Interesting
He always gets rebuilt
turn 180 and head back
