Warning The original file is very high-resolution. It might not load properly or could cause your browser to freeze when opened at full size.
Description Orbital plot of Proxima Centauri showing its position with respect to Alpha Centauri over the coming millenia (graduations are in thousands of years). The large number of background stars is due to the fact that Proxima Cen is located very close to the plane of the Milky Way.
