Webb Telescope Detects Possible New Exoplanet Near Alpha Centauri
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have found strong evidence for a potential new gas giant exoplanet orbiting Alpha Centauri A, the closest sun-like star to Earth, located just four light-years away. The planet candidate is in the habitable zone but is unlikely to support life due to its gaseous nature. Further observations are needed to confirm its existence, which could provide valuable insights into planetary formation in multi-star systems.
