Toliman
Alp-2
Binary systemIts story
Toliman, also known as Alpha Centauri B, is one of the Sun's closest neighbours: just 4.3 light-years away, a cosmic stroll. It forms a binary system with its larger twin, two suns orbiting each other in a slow centuries-long dance across the southern sky. Its warm orange light belongs to a star slightly older than our own, an almost familiar reflection seen from afar.
