No. I sure hope you're joking or being sarcastic.
And it is
feasible to write entire articles on each and every one of them if
something as dull as Proxima Centauri
(

No, since there isn't enough people on Earth to do that by a factor of
billions. And even if we automated it, who the heck would ever read
any more than the absolute vanishing tiny fraction of it?
Who cares? The important thing is that it's there if someone wants it.
Just because it's unfeasible doesn't mean that it's an unworthy goal, or that
we shouldn't try to approach it as closely as possible.
