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 Centauri has been the nearest star for about 32,000 years, and it will hold this record for another 33,000 years. It will make its closest approach to the Sun in about 26,700 years, getting to within 3.11 light-years of Earth.After 33,000 years from now, the nearest star will be Ross 248.lpha Centaur System. Itâs the closest star to our Sun, located just a short 4.24 light-years away. Alpha Centauri is located in the Centaurus constellation, which is only visible in the Southern Hemisphere. Unfortunately, even if you can see the system, you canât see Proxima Centauri.
