Alpha Centauri, part of the three-star system closet to our own, is often posed in science fiction as humanity's first hop into the beyond-or perhaps its first meeting of the minds with alien ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Interest in our neighbouring Alpha Centauri star system has been particularly high since the recent discovery of an Earth-mass planet, known as Proxima b, orbiting the system’s third star — and the ...

There might be a huge planet lurking near one of the closest stars to Earth. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has imaged a possible planet near Alpha Centauri A, a sun-like star that forms ...

Seattle-area nonprofit group kicks off a campaign to raise $15 million and solicit bids for a milestone interstellar mission.

Recent observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope revealed compelling evidence of a giant planet candidate orbiting Alpha Centauri A, a star in the nearest stellar system to the Sun. Led by ...

It's not easy to uncover exoplanets, largely lightless objects that either lurk in the dark void of space or are blown out by the light of a nearby star. But astronomers using the James Webb Space ...
