A star within 13 light-years of the Sun
Our answer book holds 28 answers to “A star within 13 light-years of the Sun”, from the first thing anyone would say to names almost nobody would think of. Most people go straight for Alpha Centauri, Proxima Centauri or Sirius, so those barely lift the rocket. It is a fairly short list: only 5 answers sit in the two rarest tiers, so reaching one takes real knowledge.
The headline names go fast here, so it pays to remember what was catalogued long after them. You will find it in stage 45, “Zoom Out”, of the Cosmos mission. The first stages of every mission are free, and later stages come with the full mission.
