Ingredients: 1  1/3 cup olive oil. 2  5 garlic cloves. 3  Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional) 4  1 Tbs. fine dried bread crumbs, toasted. 5  3 lb. small clams, preferably Manila, well scrubbed. 6  1/2 cup dry white wine. 7  1 cup water. 8  1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley. 9  1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
1 The nearest star is some 4.2 light years away, and that distance was known to within an accuracy of better than 0.1 light year. 2  For a star measured as 20 light years away, the distance estimate is accurate to within a light year or so.  For stars 50 light years away, the margin of error is perhaps 5 to 10 light years.
Proxima Centauri-Type= M5, Magnitude=11.0, Distance=4.22 ly. This dim red dwarf is the nearest star to the Sun, and it is a member of the Alpha Centauri system despite lying 0.24 light years from the main pair of stars, requiring over one million years to orbit them. Proxima was discovered in 1915 by Robert Innes and was at that time the least luminous star known.
