Proxima B2B the brand that NASA lost and found. Welcome Proxima b

Proxima B2B is a company full of science geeks, NASA nerds, and even some left over Apollo addicts. So when NASA news blew up recently with all of the great news about Proxima Centauri and the many possibilities, we were all hooked on the @NASAtelescope Twitter feed.

the JPL and NASA site  was bursting with the exoplanet news and we're pretty excited about the new find.

To quote briefly, "The new planet circles Proxima Centauri, the smallest member of a triple star system known to science fiction fans everywhere as Alpha Centauri. Just over 4 light-years away, Proxima is the closest star to Earth, besides our own sun.

"This is really a game-changer in our field," said Olivier Guyon, a planet-hunting affiliate at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, and associate professor at the University of Arizona, Tucson. "The closest star to us has a possible rocky planet in the habitable zone. That's a huge deal. It also boosts the already existing, mounting body of evidence that such planets are near, and that several of them are probably sitting quite close to us. This is extremely exciting."

So as you might guess, the latest updates from the NASA site and JPL, are frequent quick stops on our morning coffee, pre-dawn,  virtual meeting. Yes, NASA news pumps us up for a day selling complex intangible, innovative, solutions for technology companies.

The new planet, dubbed Proxima b, is at least 1.3 times the mass of Earth. It orbits its star far more closely than Mercury orbits our sun, taking only 11 days to complete a single orbit -- a "year" on Proxima b.

Proxima B2B reviews the news and so do our clients. We're not holding it against JPL, or NASA, or the fine folks who made the discovery of Proxima b but if you find this post, you're doing better than lots of our own staff. Yes, big baby b, Proxima b, that is, has virtually buried all of our nifty notes on clients who have made huge sales, been acquired with glee by Oracle, and other recent news. 

It's all a matter of perspective. Proxima B2B is excited that our 2016 is the best sales year on record for our company, and that our clients are growing and building new revenue. 

It took a newly discovered exo-planet to bury our last press release. I think we'll call that great news for us all. Keep up the good work NASA and ESO. And, thanks to the Proxima B2B marketing team - we know you're putting the news out there and people will discover it in due time.
