The James Webb Space Telescope has detected a possible gas giant the size of Saturn in the stellar system nearest our own

In some of its most ambitious work yet, the James Webb Space Telescope looked to spot a planet in a potentially habitable orbit around Alpha Centauri A, the nearest sunlike star to our solar system

The discovery was made using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, which detected a likely gas giant around Alpha Centauri A- one of three stars in the Alpha Centauri system, just over four light-years from Earth.
