Wolf 359
Wolf 359 is a red dwarf star located in the constellation Leo, near the ecliptic. At a distance of approximately 7.9 light years from Earth, it has an apparent magnitude of 13.54 and can only be seen with a large telescope. Wolf 359 is one of the nearest stars to the Sun; only the Alpha Centauri system (including Proxima Centauri), Barnard’s Star, the brown dwarfs Luhman 16 (WISE 1049-5319), and WISE 0855−0714 are known to be closer. Its proximity to Earth has led to its mention in several works of fiction.
