Gliese 710
Gliese 710 is an orange dwarf star that will come close to the Solar system in 1.3 million years.[1][2]
The star's name shows it is part of the Gliese Catalog.
In 1.3 million years Gliese 710 will dive 0.166 light-years (10,500 au) deep into the Oort Cloud.[3] It is an orange dwarf star, its mass is approximately 60 percent that of Sol, our sun, while its brightness is only 4.5 percent.[4] It is currently over 62 lightyears away from the Solar system

Its surface is cooler, 3870 oC versus 5500 oC for the Sun. Its smaller size and lower surface temperature means that it has only 4.5% of the luminosity of the Sun. It lies at a distance of 62.3 light years from us. Its distance and luminosity give it a magnitude of 9.66, making it too faint to be seen with the naked eye. It is not known if Gliese 710 has any planets.
