Gliese 667 Cc (also known as GJ 667 Cc, HR 6426 Cc, or HD 156384 Cc) [2] is an exoplanet orbiting within the habitable zone of the red dwarf star Gliese 667 C, which is a member of the Gliese 667 triple star system, approximately 23.62 light-years (7.24 parsecs; 223.5 trillion kilometres) away in the constellation of Scorpius.
The largest star in the system, Gliese 667 A (GJ 667 A), is a K-type main-sequence star of stellar classification K3V. [2] It has about 73% [5] of the mass of the Sun and 76% [2] of the Sun's radius, but is radiating only around 12-13% of the luminosity of the Sun. [15] The concentration of elements other than hydrogen and helium, what astronomers term the star's metallicity, is much lower ...

Gliese 667 Cc, discovered in 2011 but announced in 2012, [143] is a super-Earth orbiting in the circumstellar habitable zone of Gliese 667 C. It is one of the most Earth-like planets known. Gliese 163 c, discovered in September 2012 in orbit around the red dwarf Gliese 163 [144] is located 49 light years from Earth.
Gliese 667 Cb is an exoplanet orbiting the star Gliese 667 C, a member of the Gliese 667 triple-star system. It is the most massive planet discovered in the system and is likely a super-Earth or a mini-Neptune. Orbital-stability analysis indicates that it cannot be more than twice its minimum mass.

Gliese published the Third Catalogue of Nearby Stars (CNS3) in 1991, again in collaboration with Hartmut Jahreiß; the list now containing information on more than 3,800 stars. Although this catalogue was designated as preliminary, it remained the one in current use until the publication of CNS5. [ 6 ]
