What is the scientific notation of Proxima Centauri?
Proxima Centauri is a star and there is no scientific notation for a star. There will be scientific notations for the values of its distance, its size, its age, luminosity, magnitude and so on but the question is not about any of them!
Which is more stable alpha or beta glucose?
beta glucose
Is the beta distribution closed under convex combinations viz is the convex combination of two or more beta distributions also a beta distribution?
No. For a convex combination of distributions, the density is also a convex combination of the individual densities and one can easilly check that the convex combination of beta densities is not again a beta density.
Is bacillus subtilis a beta or alpha hemolysis?
is bacillus subtilis beta or alpha hemolysis
If a stock has a beta equal to one?
A beta of 1 indicates that the security's price will move with the market.
What is the star betas distance from earth?
The term "Beta" isn't a star name -- it's a prefix that indicates that, of a group of stars, which one this one is. So there are Alpha cetauri, Beta Centauri, Gamm Centauri, etc...
What color is beta centauri?

How many light years away is Beta Centaur?
That would be "Beta Centauri". Wikipedia lists its distance as 350 ± 20 light-years. Wolfram Alpha lists a the distance as 397.4 light-years.
How many light-years away from earth is beta centauri?
All three members of this 'triple-star' system ... Alpha Centauri, Beta Centauri, and Proxima Centauri ... are listed as being located roughly 4.2 light-years from our solar system.
What is a another name for the stars called alpha and beta?
There is no single star called "alpha" or "beta". The brightest stars (usually) in each constellation are called "alpha" and "beta", followed by the Latin genitiv of the constellation; for example, "alpha centauri", "beta centauri", "alpha orionis", "alpha cruxis", etc.

How far is next the next solar system?
The nearest other star is Proxima Centauri, at 4.2 light years away. Beyond that, Alpha Centauri and Beta Centauri are 4.5 LY away.
What are the three stars of the Centauri system?
Alpha Centauri, Beta Centauri, and Proxima Centauri. Of the three, Proxima is the closest to us, hence the name (which means "nearest"). There is some dispute as to whether the system is actually a trinary star system, or a binary star system with Proxima as a relatively close neighbor that doesn't significantly interact with Alpha and Beta. As a result, the system is sometimes referred to as "AB Centauri", which designates a binary system.
What is the star nearest to the sun how many light years away?
Toliman (a.k.a. Rigil Kentaurus, or Alpha Centauri), at a distance of 4.3 light-years. Actually this is a multiple star; one of its components, Proxima Centauri, is at a distance of 4.2 light-years.Toliman (a.k.a. Rigil Kentaurus, or Alpha Centauri), at a distance of 4.3 light-years.
