They found a planet with a Mass similar to that of Earth around alpha Centauri B. But it's about 6 million KM (compared to the 149 of Earth) to its parent star, and thus far too hot for habitability. But who knows? Planets can exist as far out as the orbit of Mars around both Stars. I hope they find Habitable-zone planets around either, or better yet, both stars.
