<p>MartinG: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Proxima Centauri''' is a [[Red dwarf]] star in the constellation of the Centaur. At just over 4 [[Light year]]s away Proxima Centauri is the nearest star to the [[Solar System]]. [[Alpha Centauri]] is a double star system slightly further away than Proxima Centauri. Astronomers believe that Proxima Centauri is gravitationally bound to these two stars.<br /> [[Category:Astronomy]]</div>

<p>MartinG: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Sirius''' is the brightest [[star]] in the sky as seen from earth. It is 8.6 light years away from our planet and under the right conditions can be seen with the naked eye during the day. While there are stars that have a much higher absolute brightness, they are much further away from the earth and so don't appear as bright. Sirius can be seen from most of the earth, but can not be viewed at extreme northern [[latitude]]s. Sirius is a double star system. Sirius A is the very bright star. There is a second [[White dwarf]] star, Sirius B.<br /> <br /> '''Sirius''' is also a subscription [[radio]] service most famous for hiring [[Howard Stern]], but also offers a wide variety of stations appealing to different tastes, including stations devoted to [[Christian]] singers and Christian themes. Sirius merged with XM Satellite Radio on February 18, 2008.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Astronomy]]<br /> [[Category:Radio]]</div>

<p>MartinG: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Alpha Centauri''' is a star in the constellation Centaurus and the third brightest in the sky. Alpha Centauri is a double star system consisting of Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B. Alpha Centauri is between 4 and 5 [[light year]]s from the [[Solar System]]. [[Proxima Centauri]] is slightly closer to the [[Solar System]] than these 2 stars. <br /> <br /> It was popular in [[science fiction]] and was the destination of the space traveling family in the TV show from the 1960's [[Lost in Space]].<br /> <br /> == Sources ==<br /> <br /> The New American Desk Encyclopedia, Penguin Group, 1989<br /> <br /> [[Category: Astronomy]]</div>
