Anyone who watches “Avatar” (2009) and the “Avatar: The Water Way” (2016) sequence is that the story takes place in Pandora, which is a multilateral moon, which is a giant, fake planet that revolves around the star Alpha Centauri A, found slightly over four years of light years of the solar system.
This star, in turn, is real, and it is part of a triple star system that consists of its similar (Alpha Centeri B) and a red dwarf called Proxima Centauri (the star closest to the sun).
At work, the Bandura Moon inhabits it by people NA'VI, a human type with their own properties: blue skin, at a height of about three meters, long tails and large eyes.
Outside the novel of imagination, and moving to real life, Digital look This week, this week, a possible giant planet was just discovered in the orbit of Alpha Santori – the same star that hosts Bolutimo in imagination.
Today, there is no evidence that this newly discovered world (and has not yet been confirmed as a planet) has less moons so that one can establish life. However, there are those who consider this completely reasonable. it will be?
The planet may be in Alpha Centauri A, the largest discovery of James Web
A study published in the scientific magazine Astronomical physical magazine messages Reports on the discovery of the Exoplanet candidate, called the S1, in Alpha Santori A. The invading giant was discovered about the size of Saturn, which may revolve the star until the twice the distance between the earth and the sun, initially through the JwST Telescope in August 2024.
Interestingly, he did not notice again when he was expected in February and April 2025, and won the title “Planet of Disappearance”.
Researchers suggest that the S1 orbit may have placed the potential of the external planets in front of Alpha Santori, making it difficult to monitor. According to estimates, it should be visible again between 2026 and 2027.
If it is confirmed as a planet, the S1 will become the most important discovery by JWST to this day, according to Stanimir Mitchev, a researcher at the Western University of Ontario, Canada, and a study author, on the website Direct science.

Can Caltry Gase S1 a “Pandora” moon?
The similarity of the volume with the fictional polyphemus and its location in the Alpha Santori region is generating speculation about the possibility of satellites with the conditions that lead to life.
Mary Ann Limbach, a researcher at the University of Michigan, who has nothing to do with the discovery of the S1, believes that he may suffer from moons. “The formation of moons around the giant planets is usually very common,” she told the site. NPR.
For example, the gas giants add to the solar system, Jupiter and Saturn, approximately 370 moons, including Titan, Eurobe, IO, Ganimedes, ENE and Mimas, while others with the possibility of sheltering life.
According to Limbach, the S1 can include a satellite the size of Mars, which is large enough to keep the atmosphere and oceans, making the scenario similar to Bandora, at least in theory.
David Caping, the world of planets at Columbia University in New York, is more cautious. He believes that any S1 satellite will likely be smaller, similar to the Titan, from the saturn, which has two -thirds of Mars and a little larger than mercury. With this dimension, it will be difficult to support a stable atmosphere, making the presence of a complex life very unlikely.
For Kipping, the chance of a real Pandora requires an amazing big moon, “and this is not impossible, but it is unlikely.”
It turns out that the discovery of satellites in the S1, if any, will not be simple. Exoluas is smaller and cooler than external planets, making observation more difficult than on the planet. For this, it may be necessary to have a much powerful space telescope than JWST, and perhaps only available in the coming decades.
Until then, strange organisms inhabit the moon in the Alpha Santori system or anything else, only in science fiction.
