View full size image. The star Proxima Centauri lies a scant 4 light-years from Earth, making it the closest stellar neighbor to our own sun and a perfect target for the Hubble Space Telescope. In this Hubble telescope photo, Proxima Centauri shines as a bright point-like object, but that appearance is deceiving.he image does not show the other two stars which make up a triple star system with Proxima Centauri. Its two companions, Alpha Centauri A and B, lie outside the frame. Hubble acquired the image in 1996, and NASA unveiled it in 2013.
The closest star to us aside from the sun is Proxima, a small star that is part of the Alpha Centauri star system. On average, Proxima is 4.22 light years away while the star system as a whole is 4.27 light years away. The Sun is technically the closest star to the Earth.Besides that though, the star Alpha Centauri is closest. It is approximately 4.37 light years away The star closest to earth is the sun, averaging 93 million miles over the course of one full year.After the sun, the next nearest star is Proxima Centauri, roughly 270 thousand times farther from us than the sun is.trictly speaking, the CLOSEST star to the Earth is our own Sun. The next closest after that is Proxima Centauri, a tiny red dwarf 4.2 light years away. Even though it is the â¦ closest star to the Sun, it cannot be seen by the naked eye, because it is too dim!   The sun.
