Here is the full story from the ESO Interesting, but not in my immediate vacation plans. If we sent a probe traveling at half the speed of light, the probe would experience 8 years of travel, but how long would it take from our perspective?

Substitute v with c/2 in this equation and you will get the answer in t':) Mindgobbling. But I think you still will get close up pictures from Proxima Centauri within 12 years if the probe travel at half the speed of light, 8 years, and transmitting back that will take 4 years.
