However, there's a bit of a catch:

* Proxima Centauri is actually part of the Alpha Centauri system, which is a triple star system.

* The Alpha Centauri system is the closest star system to our own, and Proxima Centauri is the faintest and smallest of the three stars.

While technically in the constellation Centaurus, Proxima Centauri is often associated with Hydra due to its proximity and visibility from Earth.
