Left: orbit of α Cen B relative to α Cen A showing one epoch of Hipparcos and two epochs of ALMA data. Center: zoom-in view showing the ALMA data. Top right: the difference between the parallax effect as seen from Earth and from JWST at L2. Bottom right: the uncertainty in position of α Cen as a function of year before and after the addition of the new 2023 ALMA observations.
