Proxima Centauri star. Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image of the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri,which lies around 4.2 light-years from the Sun,in the constellation Centaurus. This is the closest star to our own solar system. It is what is known as a 'flare star',meaning that convection processes within the star's body make it prone to random and dramatic changes in brightness.
