"Study Unveils Vulcan as Astronomical Illusion from Stellar Activity"

A new study led by astronomer Abigail Burrows reveals that the planet thought to orbit 40 Eridani A, often compared to Star Trek's fictional Vulcan, is actually an illusion caused by the star's own activity. High-precision measurements from the NEID instrument show that the supposed planet signal is due to stellar jitters, not an actual planet.
