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 our solar system is currently Proxima Centauri. Proxima is a small, red M dwarf only about half as hot as the Sun and 14% as wide. Itâs member C of the Alpha Centauri system, a triple-star system that lies just over 4 light-years away. And now, astronomers say, theyâre sure Proxima Centauri has a planet.
