JWST and Orbit Models Bolster Gas Giant Candidate in Alpha Centauri A's Habitable Zone

Webb Telescope discovers giant new planet in solar system next to ours

This discovery represents a major milestone in the search for exoplanets around our nearest Sun-like neighbour.

The JWST Found Evidence Of An Exo-Gas Giant Around Alpha Centauri, Our Closest Sun-Like Neighbour

Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have found strong evidence of a giant planet orbiting a star in the stellar system closest to our own Sun. At just 4 light-years away from Earth, the Alpha Centauri triple star system has long been a compelling target in the search for worlds beyond our solar system.

James Webb Space Telescope discovers evidence of a new planet

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered evidence of a giant planet orbiting a star in the solar system closest to Earth, the administration announced Thursday.

Scientists Appear to Have Spotted an Unknown Planet in Nearest Star System to Earth

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have found strong evidence of a mysterious exoplanet in Alpha Centauri.

James Webb Space Telescope spots a potential new exoplanet just 4 light-years away from Earth

Astronomers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have found strong evidence for a new exoplanet — one orbiting Alpha Centauri A, the nearest sun-like star to Earth.

If This Planet Is Real, It Would Break So Many Records

Researchers may have discovered a gas giant orbiting the star Alpha Centauri A, and it appears to be in the star's habitable zone.
