The star with the highest proper motion, [138] and the second-nearest star system to the Solar system. Has a planet, Barnard's Star b / Barnard b. [139] [105] Batsũ̀ (LHS 3844) 131,500 Has one confirmed exoplanet [140] Ross 248: 132,200 Tenth-nearest star system to the Solar System. [112] Gliese 1128: 132,200 [141] Alpha Mensae B 132,200 [142]
Barnard's star is a red dwarf, the smallest type of regular star and much smaller and less luminous than our sun. At about 6 light years away, it is the closest single star - one not orbiting with ...
OGLE-TR-122 is a binary stellar system containing one of the smallest main-sequence stars whose radius has been measured. It was discovered when the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) survey observed the smaller star eclipsing the larger primary. The orbital period is approximately 7.3 days.
The size of the star was obtained using asteroseismology; [7] Kepler-37 is currently the smallest star to be studied using this process. [6] This allowed the size of Kepler-37b to be determined "with extreme accuracy". [6] To date, Kepler-37b is the smallest planet discovered around a main-sequence star [b] outside the Solar System.

Barnard's Star is a small red dwarf star in the constellation of Ophiuchus.At a distance of 5.96 light-years (1.83 pc) from Earth, it is the fourth-nearest-known individual star to the Sun after the three components of the Alpha Centauri system, and is the closest star in the northern celestial hemisphere.

Pluto's reign. For decades, students learned the phrase "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas" to remember the order of the planets in the solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars ...
EBLM J0555-57 is a triple star system approximately 670 light-years from Earth. The system's discovery was released on July 12, 2017. EBLM J0555-57Ab, the smallest star in the system, orbits its primary star with a period of 7.8 days, and currently is the smallest known star with a mass sufficient to enable the fusion of hydrogen in its core.
The planet, called LHS 3154 b, orbits at about 2.3% of Earth's orbital distance from the sun, circling its star every 3.7 days. It is much closer even than our solar system's innermost planet ...
