Alpha+Centauri+2B

n
 * Alpha Centauri is the brightest double star in the sky and is in a triple star system. The system is the closest to the sun and the pair appears to be the bightest nighttime star. Also it is one of the few palces in the milkyway Galaxy that may offer terrestrial life conditions

Although it looks like a single point to the sky, Alpha Centauri is a system of three stars. The two brightest stars in the system are too close to be seen as separate stars by the naked eye. That makes it look like a single source of light. Alpha Centauri is the closest system of stars to the Solar System. It is 4.37 light-years away. Proxima Centauri, is the closest part of the system at 4.22 light-years away from our solar system. || above near the middle proxima centauri is seen and to the left of it is alpha centauri which is the brighter of the two. To the right are the four stars of the southern cross. ||
