PIX4640540: Interstellar ship - Artist's view - starship arrives alpha centauri - An interstellar ship arrives in orbit around an exoplanet, after a 50-year journey to the Alpha star of the Centaurus. The bright star under the exoplanet is our Sun, a distance of 4.3 years of light. A habitat two miles across arrives to orbit a hypothetical earthlike planet orbiting the star Alpha Centauri after a 50 - year voyage. The discarded braking stage of the giant starship drifts in the far background. The bright star below the planet is our sun, 4.3 light years away, Dixon, Don (b.1951) / Bridgeman Images
