: There is Alpha Centauri, Proxima Centauri, and NGC5139 a Globular cluster, brightest one in the sky. Proxima Centauri is the closest star to us. 4 light years away. Well, in the Alpha Centauri system there are 3 stars, Proxima Centauri, a dwarf clösest to us, and Alpha Centauri A & B. Proxima i a little on its own, while A & B are closer to each other, about the same distance as our Sun and Neptune. These 2 suns are also rather like our own. Nothing known about planets though.
