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.
