and Alpha Centauri B (on the right). ESA/NASA Our nearest stellar neighbor, Alpha Centauri, is moving towards us at a slow and steady pace. In about 3,000 years, the triple star system will be at ...

Consisting of three stars—Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and Proxima Centauri—this system is moving toward us at high speeds. According to recent research, material from Alpha Centauri is ...

Though it appears as a single bright speck in the sky, Alpha Centauri is actually a triple star system, with several suspected exoplanets, including a super-Earth called Proxima Centauri b ...

"Our Sun (Sol) is marked by a black hexagon, and its orbital path is indicated by a grey solid line (top row only). Alpha Centauri's location and path are shown by a yellow star and a solid blue line ...

Alpha Centauri is the star system closest to our Solar System, and it is likely that particles from it could be making their way over to or already be in our stellar neighborhood. To know what to ...

Alpha Centauri asteroids may be scattered in the Oort Cloud Some interstellar rocks could travel into the inner solar system ...

We aren't talking about "little green men" here, however — more "little (and not so little) gray rocks," asteroids from the triple star system Alpha Centauri. Alpha Centauri is the closest star ...

A new study led by Western astrophysicists Cole Gregg and Paul Wiegert recommends Alpha Centauri—the next closest solar system to ours—is a great place to start, highlighting how and why it's ...

The Alpha Centauri star system is approaching the sun. Two researchers have determined how many objects from there have already reached us and could reach us. At the edge of the solar system ...
