Alpha Centauri: the star system that contains our Earth 2.0.
Those unfamiliar with all things astronomical sometimes get a little confused when they hear about the closest star to Earth…
Alpha Centauri? Beta Centauri? Proxima Centauri?
Which star will be the right one?
What do you say we go for a ride over there to remove any doubts about it?
Alpha Centauri, also known as Rigel Kentaurus or Rigil Kent or, more rarely, as Toliman, is the brightest star in the Centaurus constellation and the third brightest star in the night sky to the naked eye after Sirius and Canopus.
Today we know that the primary star in the system (Alpha Centauri A) is a yellow star very similar to our Sun, slightly larger and more massive, while the secondary component (Alpha Centauri B) is orange, slightly smaller and more massive. However, both components are stars whose age, according to current models of stellar evolution, would range between 5 and 6 billion years, making them the same age or slightly older than the Sun.
From Earth to his brother Proxima Centauri in 20 years? The project Breakthrough Starshot”
In 2016, the La Silla Observatory in Chile identified Proxima b, the closest exoplanet known to us today: it orbits in the habitable belt of its own star, Proxima Centauri, a red dwarf located 4.2 light years away. from us, in the direction of the Centaurus constellation. Proxima Centauri is part of the Alpha Centauri system, a triple system consisting of a yellow dwarf and an orange dwarf very close to each other and from Proxima. Proxima is a red dwarf, probably the most widespread stellar type in the Milky Way

Right on time for the break! 🤙🤙🤙
Why hasn’t the James Webb telescope been pointed at the centuri system? Can someone explain this? That would be the first place to point it you would have thought!
I thought that planet was tidally locked. If so, it is highly unlikely to be an "Earth 2.0".
Thanks for the upload on this awesome morning, IC..🌄☕💖
What if there's already a civilization there….
What If Mars and Venus were replaced by each Earth while two Lunar-sized objects as massive as our Moon were each placed in orbit around both planets?
I wouldn't even get to blink before a yes if someone asked me to go but my question is if there is intelligent life that close to earth why haven't we heard them or is our fecal existence with our reliance on technology below them or are we above them in this field or has there been a cover up and we have been in contact with them for how ever long
All we do is ruin good healthy planets so let's just concentrate on Mars and the other planets of our solar system.
A cubic centimetre of gold will weigh 19.3 grams.
Great video and information !
Or are we 2.0
Love this 🙂 And our SUN is White noT Yellow 🙂 !
What about the radio signals coming from Proxima Centaury B? I doubt they are from alien technology, but they could be coming from the planets magnetic field. If the planet have a magnetic field as strong as Earth's or slightly stronger, it might be able to protect against the atmosphere being stripped away by super flare or CME.
What constellation is Earth's Sun in??
Awesome narration
Too m7ch reputation
Word & number salad
Nope,not "our" Earth 2.0. First we have to get there,then what if there is already a civilization there and they find humans a tasty snack?
Toliman is alpha centuri B. Alpha centauri A is Rigil Conturous
Fascinating and informative as always but I can't picture anything more horrible than the one you describe for man travel to other starts
4 lightyears is nothing. Older civilisations could skip over that easily. Possibly making all the mistakes we did and probably a lot we haven't even thought of yet. A dead end/Cul de sac.
The closest star to planet Earth is Sun, not Proxima Centauri.
What makes you think it's ours?
Why do you say that proxima B is Earth 2.0? That is an outright lie, and no astrophysicist would ever say that given the current evidence. That is science spam.
the Alpha Centauri system is quite interesting, scientists should be searching the larger pair of stars too for planets
Yes they have civilization in another planets and galaxy no need to think what if or what its already civilization out of there
They have a lot civilization in another galaxy out there
Can someone go threw the James Webb pics we have and maybe talk about the interesting discoveries? Weve only seen a few James Webb photos.
I have no clue why we are wasting time talking about Earth 2.0. One lightyear is about 37,200 years away. Even if you left today, your grandkids – great grandkids – great grandkids still would not make there.
The closest star to earth is Not Alpha, Beta, or Proxima Centauri.
The closest star to the earth is actually….
Our Sun.
So much fuzz as been made about the so-called planet Proxima B. When in reality that ain't even its name; and the Alpha Centauri triple star system as been totally fakely and wrongly explained.
Therefore, here's some proper sourced facts about the Alpha Centauri star system:
1. It as three stars: Alpha Centauri A in the middle, (with approximately the same size of the Sun, yet 20% brighter); that is also mainly mid orbited by Alpha Centauri B, (also known as Proxima Centauri); and also mainly outer orbited by Alpha Centauri C; (with approximately the same size as Tau Ceti, yet 20% brighter).
2. And that means that the red dwarf star mostly called as Proxima Centauri, is currently being sandwiched by two other extra bright Sun-like stars.
3. And that also means that planet Alaba, mostly called as Proxima B; resides in the confines of an "celestial frying pan." That only gets a "rest bite," for about 3 months at a time; ameanwhile gets to be fried by the conjunction of the 3 surrounding stars, for once during two months, every 2 years.
To conclude:
Nasa and the G.L.A.; have cooperated well so far, regarding the study of the Proxima Centauri sub-system; and it was found a planet called Alaba; in a currently orbital path similar to the one of Mercury, plus it was also found another planet called Rasputin, (that looks like the grey-scale of 1 to 1/1.2 version of planet Jupiter), that orbits similarly to planet's Marte orbit around the Sun.
Plus it seems that planet Alaba, in-spite of its cycled harsh & though times; pocesses a few patchs of dark brown coloured leaf, vegetation on its surface; and a latent foggy lower atmosphere; due to the presence of some water at and within that same planet; meanwhile its a proper worldly size planet; being almost 3 times bigger than the current planet Terra.
Also being that current planet Alaba looks very similar to current planet Wisoncin, from the Barnard Star system, by its size, by how it looks like, by its latent lower foggy atmosphere and by the type of star it orbits. Only the two main differences being that: current planet Alaba seems to have at least mo 25% of water reserves than oldy planet Wisocncin. Plus planet Wisconcin ain't in a "celestial frying pan;" since the Barnard Star, is an antique single star system.
There's this photo widely circulating that is theorized to be "artificial lights" From the darker side of proxima centauri b
Better to învent a telephoning device instead of some fi fi rockets it is cheaper you will send robots to mount the receiver so you could have faster rockets to send those there and then it is easy-to-use afer we get feedback on the environment,
Wouldnt the moon Titan have a higher likely hood of becoming earth 2.0?
Proxima was shown to be gravitationally-elliptical with the AB barycentre (after a century of observation). Kervella, Thévenin, Lovis (2017).
The question is, where are the greys from? 🤔😂
If the elusive Planet 9 isnt a planet but several nearby planets or galaxies
