I'm guessing you're curious about why so many movies, tv shows, and games reference this aren't you?
Alpha Centauri is probably one of the most important star systems in the galaxy to us because it's the closest, only a mere 4.3 light years away.(yeah real close! lol) Another thing that makes this star system so important is it sports a G2 star which is basicly a sun just like our own except the one in the Alpha Centauri system is bigger. People refer to this star as Alpha Centauri A, she has a little brother named Alpha Centauri B which is a K1 type star and they have one other sibling named Proxima Centauri which is just a red dwarf many say. It's because of this systems G2 type star many believe there may be planets that have oceans and other life producing elements. It's because of this that alot of scifi writers will always want to reference this star system so their work will have a small basis of truth and possibility to it.

"Damn, where the hell do you think these little big-headed grey dudes keep coming from?"
"It's obvious they are coming from somewhere close, probably Alpha Centauri."

Apr 27 Word of the Day
A horoscope so bad that it strikes fear into the heart of the reader, rendering them unable take action or make a decision on anything or to even leave the house. This is caused by a paralyzing fear that those actions or decisions may cause the predictions to come true.
After reading "There is a lot of uncertainty around financial transactions and investments right now, and the wrong decision could result in dire consequences" in his daily Horrorscope, Edward climbed back into bed, pulled the sheets over his head and remained there for the rest of the day.
Edward only had enough gas in his car to get to the gas station but was not sure if he had enough money in his account to pay for gas. His cell phone service had been cut off because his payments were in arrears, and since the only way he could be sure he had enough money (to pay for gas) would be to call the bank, he felt it best to hide in bed and hope his horoscope for tomorrow was more positive.
