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.
The Sun is really the closest star at 150,000,000 km (93,000,000 miles). Proxima Centauri is the closest star to us, at a distance of approximately 4.2 light years. (Proxima is Latin for next to or nearest to).Alpha Centauri is the closest star system to us at a distance of approximately 4.3 light years.he same distance as Earth's nearest star-roughly 90 million miles; it is the Sun.       Since the Moon is in the same relative position as earth (separated by on â¦ ly 1.2 light SECONDS) it would be Proxima Centauri at 4.2 light Years.     EDIT: looks like I fail since it is the Sun and not Proxima Centaur.
