Answer 2

Proxima Centauri is located in the constellation of Centaurus. It is the closest known star to the Sun, at a distance of about 4.24 light-years. Its coordinates in the sky are RA 14h 29m 47s, Dec -62° 40' 46".

Answer 3

You're right about that !

Yes, but just in case anyone is wondering, our Sun is the closest star to Earth.

Answer 4

Proxima Centauri is about the same age as our Sun ~ 4.5 billion years old.

So it's certainly not a new star, nor an old star, but lets say it's middle aged.

Answer 5

Right next to the Sun; only 4.2 light years away! We are about 2/3 of the way out from the center in one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way galaxy.

Answer 6

no.
