The Alpha Centauri System

This is my final Space Post for today and I selected a science video by Patreon and Professor Davie about the Alpha Centauri System... Three suns with their planet(s) in a grouping with Alpha Centauri A and B being a Binary system, where as Proxima Centauri is a bit closer to us and does have a planet circling it within the habitable zone...

However, the system as a whole is about 4.3 Light years away (That will be clarified in the video within grouping of the three-Star System... That one factor alone dictates that we must reach a minimum of Light Speed Drive to make it really worth our while, but that said, this system is the closest system to our Planet Earth...

"When we eventually develop the capacity to leave our solar system, we will be ready to visit countless other worlds. Where will we go first? Probably the closest system to ours, since it'll be the fastest. Which system is that? The Alpha Centauri System, with three stars, and at least one planet, which we think may even be habitable. What do they look like? What do we know about them? Let's find out!" Professor Dave

For now, it is pie in the sky and we will learn more and more over the coming decades... and certainly after the James Webb Space Telescope becomes operational as it can see 16 times as far as the Hubble Space Telescope can now... In addition, it has far greater capability than Hubble.

I hope you all enjoy this video...
