Can you still see the sun if you are in the Alpha Centauri system?
Proxima Centauri, you can't see it from Earth

Should you change soil after brown rot in tomatoes?

Do you have to change the soil if you have had brown rot on tomatoes and want to grow tomatoes again next spring
Is the government holding aliens captive?
ByGghBb
I know it doesn't feel real. What if, for example, aliens are being held captive somewhere and experiments are being conducted on them? I don't believe it myself, but no one can tell me that the government is telling us everything.
Can the formation of the Earth be seen theoretically?
The earth consists largely of stardust. Do we know which star? It is probably no longer possible to see it even with the best telescope, as all of its light has already passed the Earth into infinity.
Houses as zodiac signs?
Hey, I wanted to ask if anyone knows if it means anything to see houses in the starry sky all the time? So I automatically connect stars so that they form a house like this . ' . ' ' Does my brain want to signal something with this or is it the same for…
Astronomy?
What grade point average do you need to become an astronomer?

α Cen A is slightly larger, α Cen B is somewhat smaller than our sun and both of us can see = therefore our sun is safe from there …
That Proxima Centauri is too small doesn’t matter…
Hello,
that depends on where (; If I stand behind the system, of course I don’t see the sun anymore. If I stand between the two systems, then I can probably see the sun like any other star.
Proxima Centauri therefore cannot be seen as the star is much smaller than the other two stars and the three of us are close to each other so that they appear as a lump. But the sun is just a star.
Good
Proxima could also not be observed as single stars, since it is much too weak with a brightness of 11 magnitudes.
Yes clear (;
Hello,
Our sun has an absolute brightness of 4.84 M. This means that it (clear view and no obstacle, such as a dark cloud between the sun and the place of observation and otherwise dark sky and no objects transilluminating the sun in the vicinity) could be seen with the naked eye – and that from a distance of 10 Parsec or 32.6 light years.
Since it is from Proxima Centauri not 5 light years to the sun and decreases the brightness with the square of the distance, the sun from there appears much brighter and would be as easily recognizable as with us perhaps the Wega.
Best regards,
Willy
Well estimated. The sun from the Centauri system would be a bright star with an apparent brightness of about 0.4 in the constellation Cassiopeia.
α and β Centauri are similarly large and bright as our sun. Proxima is significantly smaller. Therefore we can definitely see our sun as well in the opposite direction.
You can get from the earth without tools approx. 6000 stars and our sun is quite average.
I assume that most are as average and therefore visible to us because they are so ‘close’ and not because they are so ‘super’ bright. The majority of stars in the Milky Way float in the milky veil from which they have their name…
Yes, there is only 4.25 LJ away, even if the sun does not appear so large you can still see it.
