2069 Alpha Centauri mission. An artist's depiction of a solar sail. In December 2017, NASA released a mission concept involving the launch, in 2069, of an interstellar probe to search for signs of life on planets orbiting stars in and around the Alpha Centauri system. [ 1][ 2] The announcement was at the annual conference of the American ...
Alpha Centauri ( α Centauri, α Cen, or Alpha Cen) is a triple star system in the southern constellation of Centaurus. It consists of three stars: Rigil Kentaurus ( α Centauri A ), Toliman ( α Centauri B ), and Proxima Centauri ( α Centauri C ). [ 14 ] Proxima Centauri is the closest star to the Sun at 4.2465 light-years (1.3020 pc ).
Proxima Centauri is a member of the Alpha Centauri star system, being identified as component Alpha Centauri C, and is 2.18° to the southwest of the Alpha Centauri AB pair. It is currently 12,950 AU (0.2 ly ) from AB, which it orbits with a period of about 550,000 years.
The concept of exploring other star systems with probes (and not just telescopes) has proven elusive for one good reason: even the fastest spacecraft would take 30,000 years just to reach Alpha ...
This artist’s impression shows the planet orbiting the star Alpha Centauri B, a member of the triple star system that is the closest to Earth. Alpha Centauri B is the most brilliant object in the sky and the other dazzling object is Alpha Centauri A. Our own Sun is visible to the upper right. The tiny signal of the planet was found with the ...
SMA Negeri 3 Bandung (also known as SMU 3 Bandung or SMA 3 Bandung) is a public high school located at Belitung street in Bandung, Indonesia. It shares a building with SMA 5 Bandung , consequently giving the schools the nickname SMA Belitung after the street.
Breakthrough Starshot is hoping to launch a small probe that would both depart much sooner and travel much faster, arriving as quickly as 20 years. Think of NASA's 2069 mission as a backup if ...
Português: Este vídeo mostra um voo pela estrela dupla brilhante Alfa Centauri A e B. Na sequência final aproximamo-nos de Alfa Centauri B e o planeta recentemente descoberto aparece à nossa frente. Este planeta, com massa semelhante à da Terra, é o exoplaneta mais próximo de nós e o mais leve já encontrado em torno de uma estrela do ...
