Part 5/8:
Geological Anomalies: Given the constant radiation from its star, it's plausible that extreme geological or volcanic activity shapes Proxima B's surface. The new emission patterns may relate to these geological forces, calling into question our understanding of exoplanet geology.
Indications of Intelligence: Perhaps the most controversial possibility is that these structured patterns signify something engineered rather than natural. Could this suggest the existence of advanced civilizations capable of manipulating their environment in deliberate ways?
