New planet around Alpha Centauri B

Summary: Full of new discoveries today, there has been a new planet found orbiting our nearest star. The planet is very close and it probably molten lava. Because the Alpha Centauri system is three stars, there will be times or Earth-like day, Earth-like night, and periods of twilight with a very bright evening star.
