Gliese 581

Star in the constellation Libra

Gliese 581 is a red dwarf star of spectral type M3V which hosts a planetary system, 20.5 light-years away from Earth in the Libra constellation. Its estimated mass is about a third of that of the Sun, and it is the 101st closest known star system to the Sun. Gliese 581 is one of the oldest, least active M dwarfs known. Its low stellar activity improves the likelihood of its planets retaining significant atmospheres, and lessens the sterilizing impact of stellar flares.
