New Technique Used to Spot Possible Super-Earth in Alpha Centauri s Habitable Zone

EVAN GOUGH, UNIVERSE TODAY 13 FEBRUARY 2021 Astronomers using a new technique may have not only found a super-Earth at a neighbouring star, but they may also have directly imaged it. And it could be nice and cozy in the habitable zone around Alpha Centauri.   It s much easier to see giant planets than Earth-size planets. No matter which detection method is being used, larger planets are simply a larger needle in the cosmic haystack. But overall, astronomers are very interested in planets that are similar to Earth. And finding them is much more difficult. We thought we d have to wait for the ultra-powerful telescopes currently being built before we could directly image exoplanets.

Planet 5-7 times size of Earth found in the nearest star system?

Planet 5-7 times size of Earth found in the nearest star system? Planet 5-7 times size of Earth found in the nearest star system? Chethan Kumar | TNN | Feb 11, 2021, 22:30 IST Representative image Astronomers from Breakthrough Watch, the global astronomical programme looking for Earth-like planets around nearby stars say there’s an “intriguing possibility” of them having observed a planet roughly five to seven times the size of Earth orbiting within the habitable zone of the nearest sun-like star, just 4.37 light years away. Breakthrough Watch which has now announced a new observing technique with unprecedented sensitivity to directly image exoplanets says initial observations also resulted in the detection of a weak signal in the habitable zone of Alpha Centauri A, part of the star system nearest to Earth.
