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. * * *Yousuf Khan Earth-Sized Planet Discovered Orbiting Around Nearest Star | Wired Science | Wired.com http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/20...alpha-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. |
