Best Answer

That would be one of the members of the multiple-star system that appears as the brightest star

in the southern constellation "Centaurus". The system was never given any particular name, and is

simply referred to as "Alpha Centauri", which just means the "brightest star in Centaurus".

It's about 4.4 light years from our solar system, which is something like 25,900,000,000,000 miles.
