Astronomers Discovered a Planet Orbiting Barnard’s Star — And There Might Be More

The closest single star to Earth is home to at least one planet, and it’s a rocky little world not so different from ours.

Astronomers spotted a small, rocky planet orbiting the red dwarf known as Barnard’s Star, which is about 6 light years away from Earth. While the Centauri system are our closest neighbors in space, Barnard’s Star is the nearest system that’s a single star instead of a complicated trio. Until now, astronomers weren’t sure whether it had any planets, but recent data from the Very Large Telescope (yes, that’s its real name) shows that there’s at least one small, rocky world zipping around the nearby star. The recent data also offers hints that there may be more planets around Barnard’s star, and at least one may be in the habitable zone.

Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias astrophysicist Jonay González Hernández and his colleagues published their work in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics.

A Multiplayer ‘Horizon’ Game Can Expand on the Series’ Strengths

The Horizon series has been one of PlayStation’s premiere first-party franchises since its debut in 2017. Its marriage of high-fidelity presentation and slick gameplay made it the poster child for the single-player experiences the gaming company is now known for.

But rather than follow up directly on the 2022 sequel and its expansion, the Amsterdam-based studio will release a multiplayer game based on the science fiction world, at least according to Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier. And while that might be disappointing to fans looking forward to the next chapter in series protagonist Aloy’s ongoing story, there’s a great opportunity to expand on one of the best aspects of the series.
