CRA PERSPECTIVE • INTERSTELLAR SCIENCE Travel Time to Proxima Centauri b How Long to Reach the Nearest Exoplanet? 4.24 LIGHT-YEARS • 40 TRILLION KM • ONE DESTINATION An educational exploration of distance, speed, propulsion and the reality of interstellar travel. The Nearest Exoplanet Is Closer Than You Think — And Farther Than You Can Imagine Proxima Centauri b is the closest known exoplanet to Earth. It orbits a small red dwarf star in the Alpha Centauri system, just 4.24 light-years away. That sounds close in cosmic terms. But 4.24 light-years is roughly 40 trillion kilometres — a distance so vast that our fastest spacecraft would take thousands of years to cover it.
