The sci-fi-like project won the top prize in the Project Hyperion Design Competition, a contest for designing hypothetical ...

The spacecraft would be 36 miles long and contain the necessities for this space travel, all of which would be supported by ...

Have you ever heard of Alpha Centauri? It's the star system closest to our own, and engineers now think they could make a ...

Proxima Centauri is 4.2 light years from Earth and has two confirmed planets, a Jupiter-like gas giant and a rocky world called Proxima b in the habitable zone.

Astronomers found strong evidence that a gassy Jupiter-size world is orbiting one of three stars in the stellar system ...

Alpha Centauri is the closest star system to Earth and one that has been mentioned in sci-fi films and TV shows many times. A ...

Proxima Centauri, which has a diameter about one-seventh of the Sun, became famous in 2016 with the discovery of its orbiting planet, Proxima b, by the European Southern Observatory.

Alpha Centauri, which is "only" 24.9 trillion miles from Earth, consists of three stars: Centauri A, Centauri B, and Proxima Centauri.

Proxima Centauri's planetary system is also particularly interesting because there are plans, the Starshot project, for future direct exploration of the system with microprobes attached to laser ...

PROXIMA CENTAURI is home to at least two planets within a habitable distance from the mysterious star, astronomers have told Express.co.uk today.

Though the planet is in one sense our closest next door neighbour – orbiting around Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our own – it’s still a good 4.3 lightyears away.

Just the appetiser Proxima Centauri's planetary system is also particularly interesting because there are plans — the Starshot project — for future direct exploration of the system with microprobes ...
