Traveling outward from the Earth into interstellar space to our nearest neighbors, so far we’ve encountered 3 star systems--Alpha Centauri (Part 1), and Barnard’s Star and Luhman 16ab (Part 2).

Let’s continue our journey outward from our solar system with the next three stops!

As you may recall, we were in the process of taking our 20% speed-of-light spacecraft, perhaps based on the “Breakthrough Starshot” program, outward into nearby space to explore the star systems around us! It’s always a good thing to know your neighbors, and in the case of star systems, what potential for resources and chance for habitable planets they provide.
