Campbell determines whether planets that are even balmier than Earth could be just a cosmic stone's throw away. One of the things Eduardo Bendek discovered about Alpha Centauri while growing up in Chile was that the closest neighboring light had a secret: it is not one star, but two. More than 30 years later, Bendek, now an astronomer at NASA'S Ames Research Center, suspects that his favorite celestial beacon might just be hiding another, more marvelous secret. There could be a planet orbiting one of the stars. And not just any old space rock. This could be a place so bursting with life that it makes Earth look post-apocalyptic.
