A new model has been developed to simulate interstellar activity within our solar system and the nearby Alpha Centauri system. Interstellar material has been found within our solar system, but ...

Though it appears as a single bright speck in the sky, Alpha Centauri is actually a triple star system, with several suspected exoplanets, including a super-Earth called Proxima Centauri b ...

A recent study suggests that the Alpha Centauri system, our stellar neighbor, could be their source. Interstellar objects, such as asteroids or comets, are not gravitationally bound to a star.

Researchers estimate over a million interstellar objects from Alpha Centauri may already be lurking in the icy shell surrounding our solar system. Stars don’t hoard their material—Gregg and ...

New research suggests that Alpha Centauri could host a Super Jupiter in a stable orbit. The research into it has been done by Tinglong Feng, an undergraduate at Xi’an Jiaotong University in China.

A new collaboration between Brown University and TU Delft has brought us closer to interstellar travel using light-powered ...
