"The team also found that the wave interacts with the Sun. It crossed our path about 13 million years ago and will again in another 13 million years. What happened during this encounter is also unknown."
For the first, Proxima Centauri is far too small to detonate a supernova. Leaving that aside, though, even a small supernova at that distance would likely cause massive damage on earth, though some primitive organisms (I’m guessing up to and including some of the hardier arthropods [*cough*cockroaches*cough*]) would survive.
Edit: “Hardier arthropods” and suchlike that is, if they were somewhere in the deepest caves or otherwise far from the surface.
Since its discovery was announced in August of 2016, Proxima b has been an endless source of wonder and the target of many scientific studies. In addition to being the closest extra-solar planet to our Solar System, this terrestrial planet also orbits within Proxima Centauri's circumstellar habitable zone (aka. "Goldilocks Zone"). As a result, scientists have naturally sought to determine if this planet could actually be home to extra-terrestrial life.
