That is pretty exciting. Some say life would be difficult because Proxima Centauri is a flare star, which has violent outbursts of radiation. Not more than the sun though, even if it is so much smaller. But the habitable zone would also be much closer to the star. It has a significant life span of about 4 trillion years and could easily outlive the present universe several times.
