Nearest neighbour moved each tarpaulin around (5,8)

I believe the answer is:

alpha centauri

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'nearest neighbour moved' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'each tarpaulin around' is the wordplay.
'around' is an anagram indicator.
'each'+'tarpaulin'='eachtarpaulin'
'eachtarpaulin' with letters rearranged gives 'ALPHA CENTAURI'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for alpha centauri that I've seen before include "Closest star to the Sun" , "Brightest star in Centaurus" , "Bright binary star" , "triple star?" , "Bright southern star" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
