The second of three stars in this system, Centauri B has the only known planet of the system in its orbit. The star is extremely similar to it's sister Centauri A, however, it is smaller and not as bright. It does contain the same elements, and the high abundances of the same elements, probably due to the same gas cloud forming them, and the same supernova giving them elements. It is located with a right ascension of 14 hours 39 minutes and 36.494 seconds with a declination of -60 Degrees, 50'02.3737.
