the Alpha Centauri star system, and we're finding that the Kuiper Belt may be no exception!" NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has discovered that a system of asteroids in the distant Kuiper Belt may ...

Alpha Centauri, the nearest star system to the sun, is probably shedding comets and asteroids into our solar system — and even producing a few meteors in our sky. Located just 4.3 light-years ...

To reach Earth’s closest star system, Alpha Centauri, scientists are building a laser-powered spacecraft. To pull off interstellar travel, a spacecraft must be very light; therefore, it’s essential to ...

But could humans or spacecraft ever reach Alpha Centauri, the closest star system to our planet? Alpha Centauri is about 4.4 light-years (roughly 25 trillion miles, or 40 trillion kilometers ...
