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 nearest stars to Earth are in the Alpha Centauri triple-star system, about 4.37 light-years away.One of these stars, Proxima Centauri, is slightly closer, at 4.24 light-years. Of all the stars closer than 15 light-years, only two are spectral type G, similar to our sun: Alpha Centauri A and Tau Ceti.The majority are M-type red dwarf stars.au Ceti is the nearest single G-type star like our sun (although the Alpha Centauri triple-star system also hosts a G-type star and is much closer). The masses of Tau Cetiâs planets range from between two and six times the mass of Earth.
