Gliese 832 is a red dwarf of spectral type M2V in the southern constellation Grus. It is too faint to be seen with the naked eye. Located relatively close to our sun, at a distance of 16.2 light years, it has just under half the mass and radius of our sun. In 2014, Gliese 832 was announced to be hosting the closest potentiallly habitable Earth-mass-range exoplanet in the solar system.
