Stars and planets are fascinating to both kids and grown-ups of all ages.  On Earth, there is one sun in the sky.  And we all enjoy the meadows and streams, flowers, bees, and the great facets of nature.  However, a planet hosted by the triple star system Alpha Centauri, not too far away from us would be able to face three suns, namely a yellow sun, an orange sun, and a red sun.  These suns offer different experiences resulting in both pleasure and imminent danger - as the red sun is a real troublemaker due to fountains of fire, energetic particles, and super-dangerous radiation.
