Potential Discovery of a World Next Door
JWST provides new evidence that one of our nearest neighbor stars, Alpha Centauri A, might host a giant planet in its habitable zone. The post Potential Discovery of a World Next Door appeared first…

In November 2025, UC Irvine astronomers announced a rocky super-Earth called GJ 251 c orbiting in a habitable zone less than 20 light-years away — close enough that the next generation of ground-based telescopes may actually photograph it directly
GJ 251 c is the kind of planet astronomers have been trying to find for decades: nearby, relatively small, in a temperate orbit, and separat
Proxima Centauri b is our closest known habitable-zone exoplanet, just over four light-years away, and it may be warm enough for liquid water if it has kept an atmosphere. But that “if” is enormous: its red-dwarf star blasts it with extreme radiation stro
Proxima Centauri b has a claim no other known exoplanet can match. It orbits the nearest star to the Sun, just over four light-years away, a
