Proxima Centauri is in the constellation Centaurus.
The closest star would be Alpha Centauri A (Not to be confused with Proximus Centauri) which has a stellar class [See Link] of G2V which is the same as our Sun. It's distance is about 4.3 light years away.
The celestial object located 40 light years from Earth is the star known as Proxima Centauri.
An asterism is a smaller group of stars within a constellation, while a constellation is a larger pattern of stars that form a recognizable shape or figure in the night sky.
A constellation is a group of stars that form a recognizable pattern in the sky, often representing a mythological figure or object. An asterism is a smaller, unofficial grouping of stars within a constellation that forms a distinct shape or pattern.
The simplest answer is that he noted that time was relative, too. That gravity slowed it down, or accelerational equivalents. It was not set in stone, but a matter of perspective. Thus a crew of men going to Proxima Centauri may well get there in close to 5 years, but from their perspective far less time would have passed.
Proxima Centauri.
Alpha Centauri (binary system) and Proxima Centauri are in the southern constellation of Centaurus.They actually are a triple star system.
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.
Proxima Centauri _IS_ a sun.
Proxima Centauri is a very dim red-dwarf companion of the bright star Alpha Centauri in the southern Centaurus constellation. Proxima is about 4.2 light years from Earth, while Alpha Centauri is 4.5 LY away. Even though Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our own, it is almost invisible to the naked eye.
Proxima Centauri is a star. It has no life forms.
No, Proxima Centauri and Alpha Centauri do not revolve around each other.
As the closest star to our sun, Proxima Centauri is in our galaxy.
PROXIMA CENTAURI Alpha Centauri is the brightest star system in the constellation of Centaurusis and is also the outermost "pointer" to the Southern Cross.
Proxima Centauri - album - was created on 2001-10-15.
The distance to Proxima Centauri in parsecs can be calculated using the formula: distance (in parsecs) = 1 / parallax angle (in arcseconds). Therefore, the distance to Proxima Centauri is approximately 1.30 parsecs.
Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our sun at 4.24 light years away. It is a red dwarf about one-seventh the diameter of our sun. From there, the Sun is a bright 0.4 magnitude star in the constellation Cassiopeia. However, the sun is not the closest star to Proxima Centauri. The closest stars from there are Alpha Centauri A and B.
