Here's why:
* Proxima Centauri: The closest star to our Sun is Proxima Centauri, which is approximately 4.24 light-years away.
* Alpha Centauri A and B: These two stars are part of the same star system as Proxima Centauri and are also relatively close to us, at approximately 4.37 light-years away.
It's possible you might be thinking of a different celestial object, or there might be a misunderstanding about the distance. If you can provide more context, I might be able to help further.
