"Our neighborhood". Of course, what I mean by that is Alpha Centauri (the dot in the center).

Well I haven't been there yet, but its about 4 light-years away 😉
Otherwise, it's a beach in Ecuador 😎
💙 Thank you! I love seeing it through the telescope, there, you can clearly see that it's actually double star 💫, (which is part of a triple star system).
Yes, indeed -- the Centauri triple! If only we could travel like our telescopes can see ... I would love to observe that beautiful orbit pattern in person!
Absolutely ... triple systems are rare ... that would be worth the eight-year round trip at light speed!
I'm actually enjoying reading one of your posts right now, and damn - you know your astronomy, and storytelling!
Thank you so much for the read -- yes, my science fiction is pretty heavy on known science, and welcome to the vast M.A. Kirk Universe, running parallel to the domains of the more famous Kirk cousin, Star Trek: The Original Series, which is my inspiration ... I grew up reading as well as watching all of those stories, and that was my foundation!
That's incredible! My astronomical awakening came late, and years of potential Star Trek junkiedom were eclipsed by Buffy: the Vampire Slayer... 😁 And while most of what I read is hard sci-fi (mostly in space), I don't think I retain enough knowledge to write my own story.
