This artist’s concept shows what a gas giant orbiting Alpha Centauri A could look like. Observations of the triple star system Alpha Centauri using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope indicate the ...
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 ...
A giant planet may be orbiting the nearest Sun-like star to Earth, and the discovery is sparking excitement across the astronomy world. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers have detected ...
Astronomers have used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to find strong evidence for a planet orbiting a star in the triple system closest to our own sun. At just 4 light-years away from Earth, the ...
Alpha Centauri may have a "disappearing planet', new James Webb Space Telescope observations hint. If confirmed, it could be the closest alien planet to Earth that orbits in its star's habitable zone.
Within a few dozen light years of the Sun, the sky is crowded with stars that could, in principle, host living worlds. I want ...
The recent discovery of a potential gas giant circling the nearby star Alpha Centauri A has led to speculation that it may be orbited in turn by a habitable moon that could support life, just like in ...
