Proxima b is a planet discovered in 2016. It revolves around our nearest star, Proxima Centauri. Rose Point is an artistic name, given to the planet in this scientific novel.

The narrative grows through real and imaginary events, episodes and announcements through dialogues, conversations, discussions, meditations and thoughts, occurring in some scientific centers of space research, chosen from the most important ones: an observatory, ESO Garching, ESO La Silla, Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, NASA Ames, Boulder University, Johns Hopkins University, SETI, ESA. The characters, a dozen, are researchers --- invented persons and names, but with temperaments and personalities similar to several people the author met in her scientific life. They share the same mission: the discovery of new planets outside the solar system.

The scientific truth is uncovered step by step through the four chapters of the book. How are the other planets? How can we know about these small and dark worlds, tens or hundreds, even thousands light years away? How sophisticated and intelligent are our methods? What breathtaking progress is used in new generation telescopes and other instruments? What kind of personality are scientists? What is their motivation? Why is it so important for humans to know the upper world? How rich is it? Are there aliens? Do we wait for them? Or are we pursuing them?

The lecturer can find the answers without the aid of long formulas and complicated scientific terms. The freedom of fiction allows the professional researchers to be main characters and to express their typical thoughts. It also gives the possibility to entangle scientific and personal stories in such a way that any reader can find something from his/her own life.
