For a long time, astronomers thought that the star Alpha Centauri was the nearest star (actually, TWO stars; they are a binary system) to our Sun, at about 4.5 light years. But then they discovered a red dwarf Proxima Centauri that is about .3 ly closer! Because Proxima Centauri is so small and dim, it cannot be seen with the naked eye.
