A


n astonishing space mission to visit our nearest star system and find out if alien life exists has been launched by Professor Stephen Hawking.
Despite being visible in the night sky without a telescope, Alpha Centauri is 25 trillion miles away (4.3 light years) and would take around 30,000 years to reach with current technology.
