Betelgeuse and Alpha Centauri are both prominent stars in the night sky. They are relatively close to Earth in astronomical terms, with Betelgeuse being a red supergiant in the constellation of Orion, while Alpha Centauri is a triple star system closest to our solar system.
Alpha Centauri is a binary star system, commonly known as Alpha Centauri ABAlpha Centauri A is about the same size and age as our Sun with a spectral type of G2VAlpha Centauri B is about 14% smaller that our Sun and a lot cooler having a spectral type of K1VThere is a third star, not surprisingly called Alpha Centauri C or Proxima Centauri which is the closest star to Earth.See related link for more information.
Operation Alpha Centauri happened in 1986.
Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B form a binary star system, while Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf star that is located further away from the binary system. Together, these three stars make up the Alpha Centauri system, which is the closest star system to the Sun.
The closest star system to our Sun is Alpha Centauri, which consists of three stars: Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and Proxima Centauri. Proxima Centauri is the closest to the Sun at a distance of about 4.24 light-years.
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri happened in 1999.
Antares and Betelgeuse are supergiant stars, while Polaris is not. Alpha Centauri is a binary star system consisting of three stars: Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and Proxima Centauri.

Alpha Centauri is the closest star system to Earth, located about 4.37 light-years away in the constellation of Centaurus. It consists of three stars: Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and Proxima Centauri. Proxima Centauri is the closest known star to the Sun.
There is no star that is simply called "Alpha". There are several that have "alpha" in their name, for example Alpha Centauri, Alpha Cruxis, Alpha Canis Majoris, etc. - usually the brightest star in each constellation. Some stars such as Betelgeuse (Alpha Orionis) are not actually the brightest star in the constellation.
As of current knowledge, there are no known satellites orbiting Alpha Centauri, which is our closest neighboring star system. However, further exploration may potentially discover any satellites that might exist.
Alpha Centauri does not orbit the sun.
Proxima Centauri appears dimmer than Betelgeuse because it actually is dimmer by several orders of magnitude.
Alpha Centauri has a mass of 1.1 solar masses.
Operation Alpha Centauri happened in 1986.
No, Proxima Centauri and Alpha Centauri do not revolve around each other.
