Alpha Centauri, it is a binary star system in the constellation of the Centaur in the southern sky, about 4.34 light years distant. Together with the red dwarf Proxima Centauri, which orbits it and is 0.21 Lj away from Alpha Centauri and closest to the Sun, about 4.2465 Lj from the Sun, it forms a hierarchical triple star system. Alpha Centauri consists of the brighter yellow star Alpha Centauri A and the orange Alpha Centauri B currently 6 apart. Together with the sun, it is located in the so-called Local Flake. Only 4.4° to the west is Beta Centauri, another 1st magnitude star. I like it because Alpha Centauri A and B are so close together, No other Stars are this close. So they look like one in our view. It's Kind of a romantic, poem thing, And beauty.
