GJ 3293
Coordinates:      04h 28m 37.08s, −25° 10′ 25.6″
GJ 3293 (sometimes Gliese 3293) is a star in the
constellation of Eridanus, that is orbited by four
                                                                               GJ 3293
planets, two of which (GJ 3293b & GJ 3293d)                              Observation data
are located within the star's habitable zone. It is                Epoch J2000    Equinox J2000
located at the celestial coordinates: Right
                                                        Constellation                 Eridanus[1]
Ascension 04h 28m 35.71911s, Declination
−25° 10′ 09.2979″.[2] With an apparent visual           Right ascension               04h 28m 35.71911s[2]
magnitude of 11.96,[5] this star is too faint to be     Declination                   −25° 10′ 09.2979″[2]
seen with the naked eye. It can be viewed with a        Apparent magnitude (V)        11.96[3]
telescope having an aperture of at least 4 in
(10 cm). The estimated distance to GJ 3293 is                                Characteristics
65.9 light-years (20.2 parsecs), based on its           Spectral type                 M2.5[3]
stellar parallax.[2] GJ 3293 is significantly smaller                          Astrometry
and cooler than the Sun.[1]

In 2015, it was discovered that GJ 3293                 Parallax (π)                  49.4868 ± 0.0227 mas[2]
possessed two planets,[1] and in 2017 an                Distance                      65.91 ± 0.03 ly
additional two planets were discovered, making a
