The nearest star(s) to our sun are the Alpha Centauri group. One small star is orbiting one big star. When the large star is in front of the small star (from our view on earth) the big star, Alpha Centauri, is closest. When the small star swings in front of the big star, the small star (Beta Centauri) is closest
