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.
Proxima is the closest star to Earth. Faint red Proxima Centauri â at only 3,100 K and 500 times less bright than our sun â is nearly a fifth of a light year from Alpha Centauri A and B. This great distance is what calls into question its status as part of a triple star system.ottom line: The Alpha Centauri system is the closest star system to our sun. On our skyâs dome, we see this multiple system as a single star â the third-brightest star visible from Earth. Charts, photos and info about this fascinating star system.
