Well considering we've had a probe speeding out of the solar since the 70's and we're not even sure if its outside yet, I'd say its a pretty long way before we get 4 light years away.
There are tears in timespace that act as portals, search for Los alamos. Well, Zeta 1 and 2 are a long way apart from one another. Alpha Centauri and Promixa Centauri are close together. Alpha Centauri has a solar system very much like ours, but it's older. The planets are in stable orbits. There are three inhabited planets, Second, third and fifth. Its comparatively easy to get there, less than five light years away, and thats, you know, it's right next door to us.
@Psilocybinnn Easy to get there? 5 light years? Bahaha! Maybe in several hundred years, but I would say thats a long ways away. Maybe on a galactic scale its close, but as we are right now, thats beyond possible. Until we can find a way to move much much faster than light or teleport in some way elsewhere in the galaxy we are stuck inside the solar system.
@S4LAm4ndr That's what I said isn't it? I said to look up Los Alamos National Laboratory. There's a star gate to this star system open. Do research before you assume that I'm talking about hopping in a rocket powered hunk of metal. I said in my first sentence that there are rips in timespace that act as portals to places all over the galaxy, if not the universe. Physicists have already been there and have encountered the beings that exist in this star system.
@Psilocybinnn Wormholes have not yet been proven, not saying they dont exist, but even IF they do how reliable are they truly? Going through some random portal and hoping you appear in another solar system just doesn't cut it.
@Psilocybinnn Pandora is an earth-like planet in the solar system Alpha Centauri, there is a high possibility that us, "earthlings", can colonize it in the near future. Scientists say the time of space travelling needed is 15 years to get there from here. Now, they are continuing on studying this planet further. NASA will soon send an advanced telescope in space connected to a satellite in 2014 or 2015 for further investigation. It'll take about 15 years to figure out if we can really live there
@Psilocybinnn - and since Alpha Centauri is 4.37 light years away from here, it'll take about 15 years of travelling, as i've said. So all in all, it's a 30 year process. There's a 50% chance for this to happen, since we don't know yet if Pandora can maintain us for long. All we can do now is to hope.
Planets do shine, but their light is overwhelmed by that of their parent star's. However, several planets have been directly imaged now, and recent upgrades to telescopic technology make it likely that more planets will be found this way in the coming years.
Not true. Just last November there was the startling image of a planet orbiting Fomalhaut tucked inside the dust ring. Five planets have been directly imaged in total over the past several years.
Of course, they're all very large planets orbiting their stars at a great distance, making them easier to detect than small, inner planets. We probably won't have the technology to see such planets for another decade or so yet, but at least Kepler should detect quite a few indirectly.
i belive that there are other planets in the centuari system they would most likely orbit alpha and beta centauri but not in a circular orbit unless they are in relation to the speed of the orbit of the two stars but proxima centauri probaly is to small to have planets and also since alpha centuari and beta centauri are almost like our sun they may support planets that have suitable conditions for life but the planet would have to be probaly 2 or 3 AUs away from centuari a and b.
there is absolutely no way for us earthlings to tell if that is true, even on probability, our mathematic are just to primitive of concpet. We think on a smaller scale and are unable to travel the stars.
Not necessarily. With our current technology we could not detect rocky terrestrial planets. We could detect large gas giants, but not the smaller ones. Until we manage to get better sensing techniques or some truly amazing telescopes we're probably out of luck.
Nice to read a comment that is 2 years old.. Hope yous till look at your account. To go in into your comment.. There is better sensing technoloie now that can detect rocky planets and even approximate what is made of. And even better ones are on the agenda to launch within some years. In my experiance it go's to slow.. But when i was reading your comment i realised it's going pretty quick.
Sort of. The recent discoveries in Gilese 581 are possible because the star is very small, and the planets orbit very close in. Something in the habitable zone of either of the two big Centauri stars (much brighter than a red dwarf) is still pretty far past our capabilities. Additionally, we thus far can only tell anything about the atmospheres or compositions of planets that transit their stars as seen from our point of view, which is a small fraction.
where's alpha centauri B? Alpha Centauri B also might have planets. Maybe Proxima does too. You didn't show the other two stars in alpha centauri system.
there are some goofs. gas giants cannot be formed in the alpha centauri system. that just doesn't adhere to the laws of astrophysics.

How many planets did you have around A and B individually? And was that Earth-like planet around A or B? Just curious...
Sutone90 2 years ago
Most terrestrial planets discovered are too small and around dim, dead stars. The brighter, living stars always hide their planets...

This would be wonderful indeed. In truth, the cool and dim Lalande 21185 at 48,685,276,800,000 miles out
has possibly two plants in orbit. That would make this the absolute closest exo-solar planetary system to our own.
