Default Have you hugged a red dwarf lately?

gswork nous a écrit :


I should have thought of Barnard's star! That's the one coming vaigly
in our direction isn't it?


Yes it is.
The Barnard's star is approching the Earth at the speed of 0.036 light year
each century.
In 10.000 years, it should be nearer of the Earth than Proxima Centauri.
