Description
English: This video shows an imaginary journey from Earth to the Alpha Centauri system. As we leave the Solar System we see the familiar constellation figures including the Southern Cross (Crux) and the bright stars Alpha and Beta Centauri. As we approach Alpha Centauri we pass a faint red star, this is Proxima Centauri, the closest star to Earth and the faintest component of a triple star system. The final part shows the bright double star Alpha Centauri A and B with the Sun visible in the background. Alpha Centauri B is known to be orbited by an Earth-mass planet, the closest exoplanet to the Solar System.
Français : Cette vidéo montre un voyage imaginaire de la Terre vers le système d'Alpha du Centaure. Alors que nous quittons le système solaire, nous voyons la silhouette familière de la constellation, incluant la Croix du Sud et les étoiles brillantes Alpha et Beta du Centaure. Alors que nous nous approchons d'Alpha du Centaure nous dépassons une faible étoile rouge. Il s'agit de Proxima du Centaure, l'étoile la plus proche de la Terre et le composant le moins lumineux d'un système d'étoile triple. La partie finale montre les lumineuses étoiles Alpha du Centaure A et B avec le Soleil visible en arrière plan. Alpha du Centaure B est connue pour héberger une planète de masse terrestre, l'exoplanète la plus proche du système solaire.
