NASA’s Webb Finds New Evidence for Planet Around Closest Solar Twin

Description:

Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have found strong evidence of a gas giant planet orbiting Alpha Centauri A, part of the closest star system to the Sun at just 4 light-years away. While Proxima Centauri, the system’s red dwarf, has three confirmed planets, planets around Alpha Centauri A and B have been harder to detect. If confirmed, this gas giant would be the closest planet orbiting in the habitable zone of a Sun-like star, though it likely cannot support life, NASA has reported. The discovery highlights Webb’s advanced capabilities and the effort required to observe such a challenging nearby target. read more: 👍 Like this video to celebrate the groundbreaking discoveries made possible by the James Webb Space Telescope. 💬 Comment below — What do you think this discovery means for the search for life beyond our solar system? 🔗 Share this video to spread the wonder of space exploration and scientific achievement. 💰 Want to support the channel?
