Omega Centauri dominates the southern sky as the Milky Way's largest and brightest globular cluster, a dense sphere containing roughly 10 million stars. Earlier this year, astronomers found evidence ...

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 ...

In today’s episode, we explore our nearest stellar neighbors: the Alpha Centauri system and its dim red dwarf companion, Proxima Centauri. From the rocky world Proxima b possibly in the habitable zone ...

Scientists may have found the first planet ever detected around our closest “solar twin,” a star called Alpha Centauri A, the same real-life star that was home to the fictional moon Pandora in James ...

Overall, NGC 2835 looks quite similar in all of these images, with spiral arms dotted with young blue stars sweeping around an oval-shaped center, where older stars reside. This image differs from ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have reported a potential detection of a Saturn-like exoplanet orbiting Alpha Centauri A: the closest Sun-like star to Earth, located just over ...

Alpha Centauri A, on the other hand, is much more interesting from an Earth perspective. It's a G2V star similar to the Sun, which is a kind that we know can support a life-bearing planet because ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has detected strong evidence for a giant planet orbiting Alpha Centauri A, the nearest Sun-like star to Earth. Located just 4 light-years away, this possible ...

A team of astronomers on Thursday provided the strongest evidence yet that a planet circles one of Alpha Centauri’s sunlike stars. The world is at the very edge of the region around the star where ...

Astronomers found strong evidence that a gassy Jupiter-size world is orbiting one of three stars in the stellar system closest to our own. By Katrina Miller Alpha Centauri has gripped the imaginations ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers detected a potential gas giant exoplanet, designated S1, orbiting Alpha Centauri A, a star in the closest stellar system to Earth. The ...

A giant planet the size of Saturn orbiting a sun-like star has potentially been identified in our nearest neighbouring stellar system, Alpha Centauri. At just four light years from Earth, Alpha ...
