A example for a triple star system would be Alpha Centauri and Proxima Centauri, the closest star system to the Solar System.

Parallax to Alpha Centauri is equivalent to looking at something four miles away and moving your head two inches.

Alpha Centauri is a double star and Proxima Centauri orbits it at a huge distance, such that the seperation between the components of Alpha Centauri is no longer important for the orbit.

At 2g it would take only 2.5ish years to reach alpha centauri from the travellers reference.

Imagine the a ship here leaves for Alpha Centauri (AC) at hyperspeed or warp 9.

Then the ship could return and see its own light given off at alpha centauri?

So if Earth was an inch from Sol, Alpha Centauri would be four miles away.

Ethereum is not shooting for the moon, they are shooting for alpha centauri.

If Alpha Centauri has an earth-like planet around it, we will know about it in our lifetimes.

Imagine yourself going from Earth to Alpha Centauri in a constant velocity.

I want to see the Centauri stretch forth their hand again, and command the stars!

You could travel at.1c, reach Alpha Centauri in 40+ years and never even age a day if you can get close enough to the event horizon.

The moment we develop this technology and start listening, a cheery message will come from Alpha Centauri: "what took you guys so long?"

"Will You Be Able to Read This Article in 1,000 Years?" Barring some significant advancement in Sid-Meier's-Alpha-Centauri-style technologies like longevity vaccines or brain uploading, probably not.

The only one that improved on it was Alpha Centauri, which got a lot of the automation right.

If you travel close enough to c it wouldn't take very long to the astronaut to get to Proxima Centauri.

What does this look like from the viewpoint of observatories on Alpha Centauri(AC)?
