Finally, the closest star system to our own shows signs of having
planets! I would've thought if we were to discover planets in any star
system, it would've been discovered here first! After about 1000 other
planets discovered, the first one in the Alpha Centauri system have been
found. This one orbits around Alpha Centauri B. Still awaiting planets
around AC A, and Proxima Centauri.

"The Alpha Centauri system composed of three stars orbiting one
another is only 4.4 light-years away, a cosmic stone s throw from us.
Though the newly discovered planet has about the same mass as our own,
its orbit is 25 times smaller, so a year on this planet passes in just
3.2 days. This means the planet is sitting up against its star, roasting
at perhaps 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit with a surface likely composed of
molten lava".

In other words, you and other parrots of the mainstream status-quo
have nothing to constructively add to this topic.
