Which nearby stars around the sun are most likely to host life?
Within a few dozen light years of the Sun, the sky is crowded with stars that could, in principle, host living worlds. I want ...
Ever since we found an exoplanet around the nearest star from Earth, there's been intense interest in whether it could host life. Today's news points in the opposite direction. Share on Facebook ...
There may be a habitable world at the Sun's closest solar twin. In the complex space inhabited by the Alpha Centauri triple star system, JWST has just discerned the presence of a giant exoplanet ...
The ALMA Observatory in Chile has detected dust around the closest star to the Solar System, Proxima Centauri. These new observations reveal the glow coming from cold dust in a region between one to ...
Researchers confirmed Wednesday there is a planet nearby that could be habitable for humans. The planet Proxima-b orbits Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our sun at just 4.2 light-years away.
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 ...
The closest star to Earth, Proxima Centauri (PC), is still about 8000 times further away from us than Pluto. Propelling a probe to PC will require a much higher cruising speed than we can currently ...
