Default Our nearest neighbours - UV CETI

Our nearest neighbours - UV CETI

Luyten 726-8 AB or UV CETI is the sixth closest system to Sol located
only about 8.7 light-years away in the southwestern part (01 39 01.3
-17 57 01) of Cetus, the Whale. UV Ceti is an extreme example of a
flare star - that is one that can boost its brightness by a factor of
five in less than a minute!
