2069 Alpha Centauri mission. An artist's depiction of a solar sail. In December 2017, NASA released a mission concept involving the launch, in 2069, of an interstellar probe to search for signs of life on planets orbiting stars in and around the Alpha Centauri system. [ 1][ 2] The announcement was at the annual conference of the American ...
This artist’s impression shows the planet orbiting the star Alpha Centauri B, a member of the triple star system that is the closest to Earth. Alpha Centauri B is the most brilliant object in the sky and the other dazzling object is Alpha Centauri A. Our own Sun is visible to the upper right. The tiny signal of the planet was found with the ...
Português: Este vídeo mostra um voo pela estrela dupla brilhante Alfa Centauri A e B. Na sequência final aproximamo-nos de Alfa Centauri B e o planeta recentemente descoberto aparece à nossa frente. Este planeta, com massa semelhante à da Terra, é o exoplaneta mais próximo de nós e o mais leve já encontrado em torno de uma estrela do ...
That breakneck pace would prevent them from staying in the Alpha Centauri system for long, but that would be enough to collect data about the star's alien worlds and send it back. Humanity would ...
A new private effort known as Project Blue hopes to change that with a satellite built for a single purpose: to directly image an exoplanet in the Alpha Centauri system.
Alpha Centauri ( α Centauri, α Cen, or Alpha Cen) is a triple star system in the southern constellation of Centaurus. It consists of three stars: Rigil Kentaurus ( α Centauri A ), Toliman ( α Centauri B ), and Proxima Centauri ( α Centauri C ). [ 14 ] Proxima Centauri is the closest star to the Sun at 4.2465 light-years (1.3020 pc ).
Alpha Centauri Bb ( α Cen Bb) was a proposed exoplanet orbiting the K-type main-sequence star Alpha Centauri B, located 4.37 light-years from Earth in the southern constellation of Centaurus, but there has not been enough evidence to support the claim. [ 1][ 2] The claimed discovery of the planet was announced in October 2012 by a team of ...
Breakthrough Starshot is hoping to launch a small probe that would both depart much sooner and travel much faster, arriving as quickly as 20 years. Think of NASA's 2069 mission as a backup if ...
