Proxima Centauri
The closest star to our solar system/Stars
Proxima Centauri is a small red dwarf star about 4.24 light-years from Earth, the closest known star to the Sun. Despite being our nearest stellar neighbour, it is far too faint to see with the naked eye. It hosts at least two confirmed exoplanets, including Proxima Centauri b in the habitable zone.
