Yeah, I was excited when I heard about the article, but didn't dare to hope too much yet before there was confirmation. But now there is so... Yay!
And the Alpha Centauri system is where there's been crazy-sounding but perhaps possible plans to send some light-propelled nanocraft that could take just decades rather than millennia to get there and observe, so if that ever works out, there could be a way to find out more about the planet. That's pretty mind-boggling to think about.
