Alpha Centauri is the closest star system to our Solar System, situated about 4.37 light-years away. It consists of three stars: Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and the faint, small Proxima Centauri which is the closest known star to the Solar System.
Alpha Centauri A and B are Sun-like stars and together, they form a binary system. Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf star and harbors the closest known exoplanet, Proxima b, which lies within the star's habitable zone.
Exploration of Alpha Centauri is a major goal of space travel enthusiasts and dreamers who wish to traverse the stars. It inspires visions of interstellar adventure and the possibility of future colonization beyond the confines of the Solar System.
