A Giant Leap Next Door: JWST’s Groundbreaking Evidence for an Exoplanet Orbiting Alpha Centauri A

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, few stellar systems capture the human imagination quite like Alpha Centauri. As the closest star system to our own—just 4.37 light-years away—it has long been a beacon for astronomers, science fiction writers, and dreamers alike. Now, in a revelation that could redefine our understanding of nearby worlds, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has uncovered compelling evidence for a massive exoplanet orbiting…

Webb Telescope Detects Potentially Habitable World Next Door | The Middle East Observer

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have spotted what could be a potentially habitable planet orbiting Alpha Centauri A, the nearest Sun-like star just over four light years away. The candidate world, Alpha Centauri Ab, appears to lie in the star’s habitable zone, raising hopes it could sustain liquid water and possibly life. […]
