Alpha Centauri B has a planet and is 4.35 light years away.
Explanation:
An exoplanet has been discovered orbiting around Alpha Centauri B. The Alpha Centaur star system consists of three stars Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B and Proxima Centauri.
Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our solar system at 4.22 light years. Alpha Centauri A and B are about 4.35 light years away. So, an exoplanet has been discovered orbiting around one of our nearest neighbours.
