    Alpha Proxima vs. Alpha Centauri: Understanding the Difference
    No, Alpha Proxima is not the same star as Centauri.

    Alpha Centauri is actually a triple star system, meaning it consists of three stars:

    * Alpha Centauri A (also known as Rigil Kentaurus)

    * Alpha Centauri B (also known as Toliman)

    * Proxima Centauri

    Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our Sun, and it is a red dwarf star that orbits Alpha Centauri A and B. It's part of the same system, but it's not the same star as Alpha Centauri.
