Answer:
Proxima Centauri
Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our own, is still 40,208,000,000,000 km away.
It is traveling away from the Sun at a rate of 17.3 km/s. If Voyager were to travel to Proxima Centauri, at this rate, it would take over 73,000 years to arrive. If we could travel at the speed of light, an impossibility due to Special Relativity, it would still take 4.22 years to arrive!
