 PROXIMA CENTAURI AIRLINES 
Your ticket is to LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM
FLIGHT NO.
AC 1915
GATE

SEAT

The nearest star after the Sun,
Proxima Centauri, is 4.24 light years,
or 25 trillion miles, away. To get to
Proxima Centauri on our scale* we’d
have to travel nearly 4,000 miles—
roughly the distance from North
Carolina to London.
*Scale: 1 inch in the model = 100,000
miles in reality
Proxima Centauri is so far away that
it remains a point-like object even
when imaged by the Hubble Space
Telescope.
