I’ve looked into the method they use to detect these distant planets and am skeptical that they can describe them with any level of detail at all. The ONLY sign that we have that a planet is orbiting a star is a “slight dimming” in the star’s magnitude as the planet transits a star’s face from our standpoint.

This is the second closest star system, but scientists still claim to be able to determine details of planets hundreds of light years away. I call bunk.

Horrible reporting ...

How far away is this 2nd closest star.

I go link after link and nothing.

I have found some pretty decent SF shorts on YouTube. Some under the name of Dust.

If they are calling it the second closest system, they are counting Alpha Centauri (a double star) and Proxima Centauri as one system.
