As of May 2024, we know of 3 stars (A, B, Proxima) and two planets (Proxima Centauri b and d) in Alpha Centauri system. The discovery of further one planet is disputed and another one disproven. This adds up to 5 known celestial bodies.
What will be the total number of known celestial bodies in Alpha Centauri system as of 2030-01-01? This includes:
stars
planets
moons
comets and asteroids
brown dwarfs
black holes
Only the discoveries that are considered proven by the relevant Wikipedia articles are counted.
For the purposes of this question, all objects within 1 light year from Alpha Centauri A are considered part of the system.
I do not bet on my own questions.
