But as noted above, Alpha Centauri is really a quite ordinary star.The brightest star in Centaurus by absolute magnitude is the unnamed star HD119796, which is over 11000 light years away. At that distance, it is at the edge of naked-eye visiblilty.Beta Centarui, also called Hadar, is the 2nd brightest star in Centaurus by absolute magnitude. It is over 100 times further away than Alpha Centauri at 525 light years distance. But it is also the 2nd brightest in terms of visual magnitude.
