History

Alpha Centauri was well known by Greek and Indian scientists. It was thought to be a single star, but in 1915 it was declared a trinary system. A mission to Alpha Centauri started in 2074. The mission consisted of two probes that were to visit Alpha Centauri A and B. The space probes found microscopic life on one of the planets around the stars. It also found three candidates for terraforming. Manned missions started in 2076. The planets were named after famous scientists. More info soon........
