The search for interstellar visitors has taken an unexpected turn. While previous discoveries like ‘Oumuamua and Comet 2I/Borisov proved that objects from beyond our solar system can pass through, new ...

One million alien visitors from another star system could already be lurking in the solar system. We aren't talking about "little green men" here, however — more "little (and not so little) gray rocks ...

Interstellar materials have been identified in our Solar System, but their origin remains a mystery. A recent study suggests that the Alpha Centauri system, our stellar neighbor, could be their source ...

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 ...

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 ...

NASA's very productive James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has found compelling evidence for a new planet in the Alpha Centauri star system, our closest stellar neighbor. This potential gas giant, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B – they are now the “best known” stars. This has also allowed a unique and very detailed comparison between “real nature” and current stellar theory for solar-type stars ...
