A Close Encounter Of The Stellar Kind
The star Gliese 710, a faint red dwarf in Ophiuchus, is currently 63 light-years away. In about 1.5 million years, it will approach within a single light-year of our Sun. At that distance, this star, now invisible to the naked eye, will shine as brightly as Sirius.
