Proxima Centauri is the nearest star to our solar system, but Proxima Centauri is small and dim. For many years, scientists thought that Alpha Centauri was closest.

Two other interesting stars are Epsilon Eridani and Tau Ceti, stars very similar to our Sun. Science Fiction writers writers often choose Tau Ceti and Epison Eridani not only for their similarity and the hope that similar solar systems might have similar planets, but also because they are quite close to us. Tau Ceti, for example, is less than 12 light-years away, and Epsiol Eridani is just over 10 LY away.
