And the president accepted it yesterday :)

Webb has found the strongest evidence yet of a gas giant around Alpha Centauri A!
If confirmed, it would be the nearest planet that orbits in the habitable zone of a sun-like star.

It's NIRPS day! Today we are publishing the first results of the new near infrared planet hunter. A high resolution spectrograph with YHJ coverage and capable of measuring radial velocities with a precision better than 1 m/s.
We debut it with the detection (in the NIR) of Proxima b. #exoplanets 🔭
