The Alpha Centauri system is the closest star system to our sun. On our sky’s dome, we see this multiple system as a single star – the third-brightest star visible from Earth. Here's more about it, plus how you can find Alpha Centauri in your night sky - IF you're far enough south on the Earth. http://bit.ly/13FwApr ...

Solar Power: Could NASA Send A Space Probe To Alpha Centauri? How Long Would It Take? (5/9/2013)

Could we send a space probe to our nearest star, Alpha Centauri, that would still have enough power to send back information/pictures when it got there? How fast (as a % of the speed of light) could such a probe travel using existing technology? How many years would elapse from launch to when we got [...] More Pages: Solar Power: What Is The Purpose Of Humanity?

Yep. #1 and #2 actually, since all #1 had was an intro. I'm planning on the beginning of this being more of a "this is what I'm doing and why" for the game, later on talking about random subjects. If anyone has watched John Green's Miracle of Swindon Town, that's the type of thing I'm going for. Don't expect deep thoughts until later - if you want to skip the gaming mayhem, I'll mention which episodes are deep. :P ...

HOw long would it take to get to Alpha Centauri?

So Alpha Centauri is about 4.37 lightyears from earth, but that's in earths frame of reference, if you could build a spaceship to go, say 9/10c relative to earth how long would it take to get to Alpha Centauri, because then space-time would be warped and therefore it would no longer be 4.37 lightyears away relative to the space craft. Also what equation did you use so I can modify it if it takes to long(i'm writing a story, and it needs to be reasonable like 50 years or so if possible) ...

The brightest of the two pointer stars to the Southern Cross is Alpha Centauri, also known as Rigel Kentaurus. Even a small telescope reveals it as a beautiful double star. Scientists have recently found a planet circling around one of the two stars making up the double. The pointer stars with Alpha Centauri the lower of the two. Photo Nick Lomb ...

The best place to watch the ships come in is from Pier 31. It was abandoned a few years ago, and its metal skin has furred into rust. Still, it's warm from the sun. Plus, you can see the whole port from there. Manchu is a French concept artist. You can see more of his work on his website , and buy the full version of this illustration as a print on Bureau 21.

An "unofficial" name for Alpha Centauri Bb

Last week, I wrote about the Uwingu "People's Choice" contest that invites people to vote on a popular name for the nearest known exoplanet. Today, I have two updates: 1) Uwingu has extended the contest by one week, and the winning name now won't be decided until Monday, April 22, at midnight EDT. You can continue to vote at www.uwingu.com . 2) In response to Uwingu's efforts, which ultimately raise money for space education and research, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) issued a press release calling such contests “schemes” and stating that “it dissociates itself entirely from the commercial practice of selling names of planets, stars or even ‘real estate’ on other planets or moons.” The organization called itself the “single arbiter of the naming process.” Today, Uwingu issued a response: Uwingu affirms the IAU’s right to create naming systems for astronomers. But we know that the IAU has no purview — informal or official — to control popular naming of bodies in the sky or features on them, just as geographers have no purview to control people’s naming of features along hiking trails. People clearly enjoy connecting to the sky and having an input to common-use naming. We will continue to stand up for the public’s rights in this regard, and look forward to raising more grant funds for space researchers and educators this way. We now take this opportunity to note to the public that, contrary to the IAU press release: In ...
