It's a big universe. Even if this all ends up in a puddle of burning goo, we can go off together. You know, Alpha Centauri's nice. Always wanted to go there. Couple of decent planets. No nightlife to speak of.
Alpha Centauri is the nearest star system to the Sun, located at a distance of only 4.37 light years or 1.34 parsecs from Earth.
It's also a binary star systern, and a very special one. The two stars in it orbit so closely together that until modern telescopes, we thought they were one star.
