I hope we live long enough to witness and discover what JWST knows about the Altjira system in its "eclipsing season" which is scheduled to survey the next 10 years (9 now), where the outer body will be frequently positioned between the inner body and the sun to confirm whether it's a triple system. It's currently classified as a binary system.
