Gliese 625

Gliese 625 is a small red dwarf star located 21.1 light-years away in the constellation Draco. It has about a quarter of the Sun's mass and size. In 2017, astronomers detected a planet orbiting Gliese 625 called Gliese 625b that may support liquid water as it orbits near the star's habitable zone. Further observations are needed to confirm if the system's radio emissions originate from this planet.
