Nearby Two-Star System's Wobble Linked to Stellar Activity, Not Giant Planets

Astronomers have resolved a 170-year-old mystery regarding a wobble in a nearby two-star system located 16 light-years from Earth. The wobble was found to be caused by stellar activity rather than the presence of Jupiter-sized planets. While large planets have been ruled out in key regions, smaller, potentially habitable planets may still exist in this system.
