Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers detected a potential gas giant exoplanet, designated S1, orbiting Alpha Centauri A, a star in the closest stellar system to Earth. 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 ...

Interstellar material has been discovered in our solar system, but researchers continue to hunt for where it came from and ...

In a groundbreaking new study, researchers have unveiled the existence of a “cosmic highway”—a pathway of interstellar material from the Alpha Centauri system that may already be linking our solar ...

A sunlike star next door called Alpha Centauri A may host a huge planet, researchers report in two studies in press in Astrophysical Journal Letters. The planet candidate orbits in its star’s ...

In some of its most ambitious work yet, the James Webb Space Telescope looked to spot a planet in a potentially habitable orbit around Alpha Centauri A, the nearest sunlike star to our solar system ...

Alpha Centauri A, on the other hand, is much more interesting from an Earth perspective. It's a G2V star similar to the Sun, which is a kind that we know can support a life-bearing planet because ...

Just 4.3 light years from Earth lies a star called Alpha Centauri A, which is famous for being the nearest star that resembles our own Sun. In the popular Avatar movies, this star's system is home to ...

SANTA CRUZ, CA–A rocky planet similar to Earth may be orbiting one of our nearest stellar neighbors and could be detected using existing techniques, according to a new study led by astronomers at the ...
