Alpha Centauri is our closest stellar neighbor, a binary star system located just 4.376 light-years away. Despite its proximity, repeated astronomical surveys have failed to find hard evidence of ...

Astronomers have detected a faint but persistent point of light near Alpha Centauri A, the closest star that closely resembles our Sun, using the James Webb Space Telescope’s mid-infrared coronagraph.

Our nearest neighbor, Alpha Centauri, is 4.37 light-years from Earth, which is super close from a cosmological perspective but achingly far from a human point of view. A new telescope promises to ...
