Chrysalis, a 36-mile rotating space habitat, plans to take 2,400 people to Alpha Centauri in approximately 400 years.

While it's unlikely to come to fruition, designs for the 2.4-billion-ton Chrysalis could see humanity embark on a ...

The candidate gas giant orbits Alpha Centauri A, a nearby star much like our sun. Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have found strong evidence for a new exoplanet — one orbiting ...

The winning design was named Chrysalis, and it was made to hold up to 2400 people. It is a 36-mile spacecraft that has everything that humans would need to live, reproduce, and survive throughout ...

There might be a huge planet lurking near one of the closest stars to Earth. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has imaged a possible planet near Alpha Centauri A, a sun-like star that forms ...

A giant planet may be orbiting the nearest Sun-like star to Earth, and the discovery is sparking excitement across the astronomy world. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers have detected ...

Alpha Centauri, also known as Alpha Centauri A, is a three-star system. The brightest star, Alpha Centauri A, is quite ...

Astronomers are reeling over the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting Alpha Centauri B, a member of the closest star system to Earth. Only 4.3 light years away, the Alpha Centauri system has long been ...

It’s not easy to uncover exoplanets, largely lightless objects that either lurk in the dark void of space or are blown out by the light of a nearby star. But astronomers using the James Webb Space ...

A team of astronomers on Thursday provided the strongest evidence yet that a planet circles one of Alpha Centauri’s sunlike stars. The world is at the very edge of the region around the star where ...

What new methods can be employed to help astronomers distinguish the light from an exoplanet and its host star so the ...
