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 ...

With current rocket propulsion technology, it would take tens or hundreds of millennia to reach our neighboring star system, ...

In 2016, Stephen Hawking campaigned for a project that would send small spaceships to another star in just a few decades. Nothing will come of it.

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 ...

It wasn’t until the ‘90s that our astronomical powers advanced enough to confirm the existence of worlds around other stars.

TARS, named after the robot from the 2014 film "Interstellar," could potentially be a way to travel to other stars. TARS requires no fusion reactors, no gigawatt laser — and not even a chemical rocket ...

These distant worlds are called exoplanets: planets that exist outside our solar system. Most of the exoplanets scientists have discovered so far orbit stars within the Milky Way, but some lie even ...

Could Alpha Centauri be a mirror of our own solar system? We dive into the secrets of this star system, reveal what ...

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 ...

Today, let's talk about New Horizons. This spacecraft is truly impressive, having recently completed a deep space star navigation test. You might wonder, what is the use of deep space navigation? It's ...
