GJ 3293

GJ 3293 is a red dwarf star located about 65.9 light years from Earth in the constellation Eridanus. It has four planets, two of which (GJ 3293b and GJ 3293d) orbit within the star's habitable zone. GJ 3293 is around one third the mass and size of the Sun and has a surface temperature of around 3,466 K. It is too faint to be seen with the naked eye but can be viewed with an amateur telescope.
