On today's episode of Cool Science Radio:
We talk about the dawn of a revolution in astronomy with our guest, science writer Lee Billings.
For the first time ever, astronomers may have glimpsed light from a world in a life-friendly orbit around another star.
This promising potential world was spied around Alpha Centauri.
Could it be a planet? Could it be a "warm Neptune", or is it a mirage?
Billings explores the potential of these findings and how it could bring about a new era in astronomy.
