It knows the distance from Earth, but that’s not what the question was. It’s 13.6 km from somewhere.

Alpha Centauri is actually 13.6 feet from me, Ive got an old sid meyrs disk somehwere in the box of old tech stuff. Great game, used the same engine as Civ 2, think its on GOG these days.

From something like this?

If Earth were the size of a sand grain, this distance would be about the width of a hair in contrast to the corresponding 6-mile (10-km) distance to Alpha Centauri in the same scale.

How have scientists not figured out interstellar travel yet??? It's really right in front of us!
