Proxima Centauri - Everything2.com

Proxima Centauri Declination: -62 40 46.1 Even though Proxima Centauri is closer to the Earth than any other star, it is small and shines with a dim red light, making it invisible to the naked eye. Two other stars are joined by Proxima Centauri (also called Alpha Centauri C) in the Alpha Centauri system: the yellow and orange dwarf stars that are Alpha Centauri A and B, respectively. In the constellation Centaurus, Alpha Centauri represents the foot of the Centaur, at the southeast corner of the constellation.
