The Centauri System is a binary star system, containing the stars Alpha Centauri a and Alpha Centauri b. It has a single gas giant barely outside the habitable zone, a sparse asteroid belt and a single large planetoid.

    Chemlab, tuhatjalka: Proxima Centauri is tiny, and you are decently close to the roughly solar-mass Alpha Centauri A and B stars, meaning it is likely Proxima Centauri is behind the stars, or the luminosity of A/B has caused the star's magnitude to dip below the limits of the naked eye. and Proxima is so dim you can't even see it from Earth without assistance and luck.

    Chemlab is right, this is missing the red dwarf around which the planet (Proxima Centauri b) orbits Proxima Centauri b is also most likely a rocky planet. Also please be extremely careful with capitalization, stars have BIG lettering but planets have small lettering: Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, Proxima Centauri, Proxima Centauri b

    there was another star discovered that was named proxima centauri. It is a red dwarf star. So now it's a triple star system.
