At any given moment, it's one of the three stars making up the alpha Centauri system. The one that can get the closest is alpha Centauri C (aka Proxima), but depending on where it is in its orbit, it's possible for either alpha Centauri A or alpha Centauri B to be slightly closer than Proxima at a soecific point in time.
