Entirely different extraterrestrial Life forms in the Constellation Centaurus
Scientists are getting early indication that the life forms in the nearest stellar neighbors to our Sun is of entirely different form.
The nearest stellar neighbors to the Sun are three stars that make up a multiple system. To the naked eye the system appears as a single bright star, Alpha Centauri. Alpha Centauri is a double star -- two stars revolving about each other that are too close to being seen as separate by the naked eye. Near them is the third member of the system, a faint star known as Proxima Centauri. Discovered in 1915, it is smaller than Alpha and Beta. Proxima (meaning nearest) it is slightly nearer to the Sun than the other stars in this triple star system.
The Sun is about 93 million miles from the earth. The star nearest to the Sun is Proxima Centauri. Astronomers measure the distance between stars in units called light-years. A light-year equals 5.88 million million miles (9.46 million million kilometers). This is the distance light travels in one year at a speed of 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second). Proxima Centauri is 4.3 light-years from the Sun. It is a dim red star in the constellation of Centaurus that lies at a distance of over 40 million million kilometers, some 270,000 times greater than the distance between the earth and the sun.
Because of sudden flares in Proxima Centauri it is unlikely that conventional biological life forms are there. But ‘life find its way in the universe’. According to some scientists, the life forms in Proxima Centauri planets are non-biological in nature. Life is defined as electromagnetic variation of Zero Point Energy. The life forms can be of ammonia, silicon or rocks as will as composed of metals. When these zero point energies try to harbor a colony of life, it adopts to the most suitable forms for that environment. There is no exception in Proxima Centauri and the Constellation Centaurus.
