The Alpha Centauri system is located some 4 light years away from Earth, which places it right in our backyard, cosmically speaking, even though it still lies roughly 25 trillion miles away from us.

But could humans or spacecraft ever reach Alpha Centauri, the closest star system to our planet? Alpha Centauri is about 4.4 light-years (roughly 25 trillion miles, or 40 trillion kilometers) from ...

The Starfield Alpha Centauri star system consists of four planets and eight moons. The planets are all named after real-life astronauts like Yuri Gagarin, the first person in space.

And tantalizingly, what they found suggests that our solar system may already be flooded with visitors from the star system, which is about 4.25 light years away.

Alpha Centauri is the closest star system to our own, lying around 4.3 light-years away. New research has indicated that, if Alpha Centauri ejects as much material as the solar system, then as ...
