Scientists using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have made a groundbreaking discovery: an exoplanet orbiting Alpha Centauri A, the closest sun-like star to our solar system. This planet, ...

The Alpha Centauri AB system is an attractive one for radial velocity observations to detect potential exoplanets. The high metallicity of both Alpha Centauri A and B suggest that they could have ...

Alpha Centauri, one of the two "Pointer Stars" that help stargazers find the Southern Cross in the Southern Hemisphere, may have a planet in orbit around it. If it does, the Webb Telescope will find ...

Ever since we found an exoplanet around the nearest star from Earth, there's been intense interest in whether it could host life. Today's news points in the opposite direction. Share on Facebook ...

A sketch of the geometry. Top: The probe is at left, the Sun and Earth in the middle, and Alpha Centauri AB at right (not to scale). Advanced civilizations might place a probe 550 AU to the left of ...

The appearance of the interstellar objects (ISOs) 'Oumuamua and Comet Borisov in 2017 and 2019, respectively, created a surge of interest. What were they? Where did they come from? Unfortunately, they ...

In humanity's search for life outside our Solar System, one of the best places to look is Alpha Centauri, a system containing the three nearest stars beyond the Sun. A new study that has involved ...

Looking back from a distance, whether that be time or physical separation, can provide us with a fresh perspective on who we are and how far we've come. In our daily lives, Earth appears flat and ...

This artist’s impression video shows a view of the surface of the planet Proxima b orbiting the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Solar System. The double star Alpha Centauri AB ...

There may be a habitable world at the Sun's closest solar twin. In the complex space inhabited by the Alpha Centauri triple star system, JWST has just discerned the presence of a giant exoplanet ...
