| And you know also the contrapositive, that your being at place X entails that you are not then in a tank on Alpha Centauri. |
|
| The most likely destinations are the stars closest to Earth, such as Alpha Centauri and Proxima Centauri, Tau Ceti, and Epsilon Eridani. |
|
| It was hoped that the Ulysses's skill would prove decisive in the tough battleground of Beta Centauri. |
|
| Apart from the sun, our own star, the nearest star to us is Proxima Centauri, 4.2 light years away. |
|
| All combat-ready starships are ordered to proceed to Alpha Centauri immediately. |
|
| Using our current spacecrafts it would take over 73,000 years to get to the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri. |
|
| At half the speed of light, travel time to Alpha Centauri, the nearest star system, would take nine years. |
|
| The hologram faded and was replaced by the image of the Alpha Centauri binary star system. |
|
| Omega Centauri has been known to be an unusual globular cluster for a long time. |
|
| Surveys showed how the stars are bunching up near the center of Omega Centauri, as seen in the gradual increase in starlight near the center. |
|
| Robert Innes in 1915 at the Union Observatory found a faint third star associated with the stars alpha and beta Centauri. |
|
| Our next-door neighbor star, Proxima Centauri, is more than five times that distance. |
|
| We only saw him on internet clips, only read about him in bulletins that became steadily harder to believe, like despatches from Alpha Centauri. |
|
| But because Alpha Centauri A is bigger, brighter and more rambunctious, any small planets orbiting it would be harder to find. |
|
| This is about the same distance that we are from Proxima Centauri, the nearest star beyond the sun. |
|
| Days on a planet orbiting Alpha Centauri A or B would follow a weird alien cycle. |
|
| The temperature of Alpha Centauri is 5790 degrees Kelvin, so good luck finding a tent that'll cope with that Paul Hollywood. |
|
| Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B are similar to our Sun, which is also a star. |
|
| Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to the Sun at four light years away, is a red dwarf and is too dim to be seen without a telescope. |
|
| Alpha Centauri B has recently been in the news after the discovery of an Earth-mass planet in orbit around it. |
|
|
|
| The Aranda people of central Australia saw the four Cross stars as the talon of an eagle and Gamma Centauri as its leg. |
|
| The rhea's body is marked by the four main stars of Crux, while its head is Gamma Centauri and its feet are the bright stars of Musca. |
|
| My lips will be even more firmly sealed about the various suggestions put forward concerning the interpersonal relationships of Alpha Centauri, the hermaphrodite hexapod. |
|
| When space travel becomes feasible, I plan to visit Alpha Centauri. |
|
| The astrophysicist points out that the star Alpha Centauri B is optimal for searches with current telescopes because it is one of the closest to Earth. |
|
| After the first half of the expedition, Vespucci mapped Alpha and Beta Centauri, as well as the constellation Crux, the Southern Cross and the Coalsack Nebula. |
|
| The brighter star, named Alpha Centauri A, is yellow, like the Sun. |
|
| It is part of a triple system consisting of a pair of Sun-like stars, Alpha Centauri A and B, and a more distant and faint red companion, Proxima Centauri. |
