The evidence for the age of the Sphinx is not only that it is aligned with Leo rising for 10,500 BC, but also that the erosion on the body of the Sphinx can only be attributed to rainfall, which did not occur in the region much after 10,500 BC.
Proxima Centauri (from Latin, meaning nearest [star] of Centaurus) is a red dwarf, a small low-mass star, about 4.25 light-years from the Sun in the constellation of Centaurus.
Alpha Centauri is the nearest star system to our sun at 4.3 light-years away. Thatâs about 25 trillion miles (40 trillion km) away from Earth â nearly 300,000 times the distance from the Earth to the sun. How might we travel to Alpha Centauri, the next-nearest star? And how long would it take to get there? Follow the links below to learn more.
