How Far Away Is Our Nearest Star System? Alpha Centauri
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
How far would you need to travel to get to Alpha Centauri if the Sun was the size of a grain of sand? Before watching this video, have a guess in the comments! I also revisit our own Solar System and give a distance comparison like I did in my very first video.

I used that for the Alpha Centauri simulation.

And that made me shit brix to imagine how big is the galaxy... Damnnn
-
20 km?
-
333,228,675 meters is our closest start near our solar system
-
OH MY GOD ONLY 4.4 LY IS THAT FAR WHAT ABOUT ANDROMEDA GALAXY WHICH IS 2.2 MILLION LY AWAY FROM US WE CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MILKY WAY TO ANDROMEDA GALAXY
-
what town are we viewing and in what country (Switzerland I assume)?
-
you just show off do you do youuu!!!
-
4 light yearz
-
30km = 18.6411 miles, thank you google ;)
if Alpha Centauri went Super Nova, would it effect our solar system? -
He got no shoes
-
Now imagine you're a single celled organism right where earth is in that representation. Size is pretty strange.
-
distance between Andromeda and Milky way
-
Yes. Beautiful countryside but sad. I can see no place for wild animals, even birds. People sit everywhere. Very sad countryside . A lot of lights around. Are you able to see the Mliky Way?
-
Off the top of my head I 'feel' it would be about a mile.
-
y loss in space
-
Do you think we are in a binary system? I know it's like 80% of systems are binary or something like that, so the chances are high, right?
-
I enjoyed that. I'm in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, U.S.A. keep up the good work.
-
awesome VID !! swiss countryside looks a lot like where I live in California (in late fall/early wint.) ...except, I see no NO AMAZING SNOW COVERED MOUNTAIN RANGE (gorgeous) 0.o !!!!!!
-
at 3:30 i think we have to travel 999,999 miles per atosecond for 3 seconds
-
its coming closer though, it will be 3.1 at its closest approach... in 26k years. at that stage you hop over there and make a colony and then continue star hopping to close stars until the entire galaxy is colonized, at which point we make factions and there is star wars. it wont be that long now, only 920k years
