Alpha Centauri (the nearest star system to the earth)

It consists of three stars and the X-ray close-up above shows Alpha Centauri A and B. The third star (Alpha Centauri C or Proxima Centauri) is much less brighter but it currently holds the title of the nearest star to the earth. It's at 4.25 light years (about 40 trillion kilometres) away. So close...

Thanks @Per Ardua Ad Astra I definitely love this game

Bermuda - Triangle

What Is Known (and Not Known) About the Bermuda Triangle

People have been trying to solve the “mystery” of the Bermuda Triangle for years. Here’s what we know (and don’t know) about the Bermuda Triangle.

www.britannica.com

"The agonic line sometimes passes through the Bermuda Triangle, including a period in the early 20th century. The agonic line is a place on Earth's surface where true north and magnetic north align, and there is no need to account for magnetic declination on a compass."
