DescriptionEso1702b.jpg |
English: This image shows the closest stellar system to the Sun, the bright double star Alpha Centauri AB and its distant and faint companion Proxima Centauri. In late 2016 ESO signed an agreement with the Breakthrough Initiatives to adapt the VLT instrumentation to conduct a search for planets in the Alpha Centauri system. Such planets could be the targets for an eventual launch of miniature space probes by the Breakthrough Starshot Initiative.
Français : Sur cette image figure le système stellaire le plus proche du Soleil : le couple d’étoiles brillantes noté Alpha Centauri AB ainsi que son compagnon distant et peu lumineux Proxima Centauri. Fin 2016, l’ESO a signé un contrat avec Breakthrough Initiatives visant à adapter l’instrumentation du VLT à la recherche de planètes au sein du système Alpha Centauri. Ces planètes pourraient constituer les cibles d’éventuelles missions spatiales à venir avec des sondes miniatures lancées dans le cadre l’initiative Breakthrough Starshot. |
