It's called Proxima Centauri. It's the dimmest of three stars all orbiting each
other about 4.3 light years from us. Visually, we see the whole group as a
single object, called "Alpha Centauri" ... a name that doesn't really mean
anything except "brightest star in the constellation Centaurus".
It's located quite far down in the southern sky, and it's never visible to anyone
located farther north than about 29° north latitude ... roughly the line through
San Antonio TX and Daytona Beach FL.
