The existence of a potentially habitable planet orbiting our closest neighbor, the red dwarf Proxima Centauri, is both an extremely exciting event and sort of "more of the same." While Proxima b is ...

Proxima b is very promising. It orbits a red dwarf star called Proxima Centauri in a system with three stars in it. Proxima ...

The closest exoplanets to the Solar System are around the red dwarf Proxima Centauri. This little star is orbiting two bigger Sun-like stars, which are known as Alpha Centauri A and B. For over a ...

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 ...

What can star variability—changes in a star's brightness over time—teach astronomers about exoplanet habitability? This is what a recent study accepted for publication in The Astronomical Journal ...

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 ...

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 ...

CINCINNATI (WKRC/NASA/CBS Newspath) - Astronomers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have discovered compelling evidence of a giant planet orbiting Alpha Centauri A, the closest Sun-like star to ...

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 ...

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, ...
