Breakthrough Starshot: A $100 Million Space Mission to Alpha Centauri Ends
In 2016, billionaire Yuri Milner launched Breakthrough Starshot, a $100 million project aiming to send tiny probes to Alpha Centauri within 20 years; however, nine years later, the project is dead due to insurmountable technical challenges and lack of funding.

James Webb Telescope Searches for Planets Around Alpha Centauri and Proxima Centauri
Recent astronomical observations using the James Webb Space Telescope explored the Alpha Centauri binary star system and its potential planets, while confirming at least one planet around Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the sun, and possibly a second.

Potential Exoplanet Discovery in Alpha Centauri System
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected strong evidence of a Saturn-sized gas giant orbiting Alpha Centauri A, the closest star system to Earth, challenging our understanding of planet formation and opening avenues for future exploration.

Interstellar Material from Alpha Centauri Found in Our Solar System
A new study uses simulations to show that millions of objects, from asteroids to microscopic particles, originating from the Alpha Centauri system, may be present in our solar system; this influx peaks in about 28,000 years when Alpha Centauri is closest to us.
