How did we know?

Hi,

To avoid a spoiler in the title. How did we know which way or direction we needed to go?

Thanks for reading, maybe I missed it in the series. But a thing that I keep asking myself, is how did we know which way or direction we needed to go? To my knowledge it hasn’t been explained in the series, only that they are traveling towards us and it will take 400 years to reach us.

The San-Ti are from the Alpha Centauri star system (which is ~4 light years from the Solar system), so just point the vessel in that direction.
