Centauri e

Algol Centauri e is an exoplanet orbiting the star Alpha Centauri A, part of the closest star system to Earth. It’s a large, Jupiter-sized planet situated relatively close to its star, completing an orbit in just a few days. As a "hot Jupiter," it’s extremely hot due to its proximity, and direct observation is challenging because of the star's brightness. Its discovery helps scientists understand planetary formation and diversity in our neighborhood of the galaxy, providing insights into how common such planets might be in the universe.
