| | Alpha Centauri |
| | The two brightest components Alpha Centauri A and B form a binary. | | | For the binary Alpha Centauri A and B, their closest approach is 11 AU, so the limit for planetary orbits is at about 2 astronomical units. | | | Luckily, Alpha Centauri A passes this test with bravour, as it is of the same class as our Sun. |

| | Sid Meier Alpha Centauri PC Game Review |
| | In Alpha Centauri, the unit, city improvement, research and special project hierarchies are all considerably deeper. | | | In Alpha Centauri, you can create paths for units to follow, by drawing a route with the mouse and marking waypoints by pressing the spacebar. | | | In Alpha Centauri, most terrain starts out covered by alien Xenofungus, which must be laboriously cleared before other terrain improvements can be applied. |

| | Because of Alpha Cen's proximity, the brighter component is still of the zeroth magnitude, and would by itself still be the sky's third brightest star, the secondary coming in at first magnitude at number 21. | | | Perseus would be the setting for our first magnitude Sun, which would be the eighth brightest in their sky. | | | Centaurus, probably much better known as Alpha Centauri or just Alpha Cen. |

| | From this multi-technique calibration, the mass of Alpha Centauri B component was also deduced and, among other stellar parameters, the radii of both stars were predicted with high precision, as 1.230 ± 0.003 (star "A") and 0.857 ± 0.007 ("B") times that of the Sun, respectively. | | | In addition to providing general information about stellar evolution, the detailed study of Alpha Centauri A and B is particular interesting as it allows verification of our current knowledge about the composition, structure and indeed, future development, of our own main energy source, the Sun. | | | The two main stars in the system, Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B, are rather similar to the Sun; their stellar spectral types are "G2V" and "K1V", respectively. |

| | Alpha Centauri A & B form what's called a close binary system, with B orbiting A at an average distance of only 23 times the Earth-Sun distance, completing an orbit every 80 years. | | | The difficulty lies in the fact that Alpha Centauri is actually a triple-star system. | | | This means that both Alpha Centauri A and B might have one or two planets at a distance where there's enough warmth for water to be a liquid, and where orbits are stable. |

| | The larger component, Alpha Centauri A, is similar to the Sun, but a little larger and brighter. | | | Like the sun, its spectral type is G2 V. The smaller component, Alpha Centauri B, is dimmer, with a spectral type of K1 V. The two orbit one another elliptically (e=0.52), approaching as close as 11.2 astronomical units and receding to 35.6 AU with a period of just under 80 years. | | | For this reason, Proxima is sometimes referred to as Alpha Centauri C. However, it is not clear if it really is in orbit, although the association is unlikely to be entirely accidental it shares approximately the same motion through space as the larger star system. |
