>Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have found strong signs of a giant planet orbiting a star in the Alpha Centauri system, the closest stellar neighborhood to our Sun, just 4 light-years away!
Alpha Centauri is a trio of stars: Alpha Centauri A (super bright), Alpha Centauri B (its twin), and Proxima Centauri (a faint red dwarf).
We already know Proxima has three planets. But spotting worlds around the brighter stars has been tricky, until now.
