The Star Gliese 832 (Gl 832 or GJ 832) on Jue 25th, Is a red dwarf (spectrum M1.5V) in the constellation Grus. It is located relatively close to the Sun, at a distance of 16.1 light years. Gliese 832 has about half the mass and radius of the Sun. Recently a second super-Earth mass planet was announced to orbit in the optimistic habitable zone but outside the conservative habitable zone. Gliese 832c is one of the three most Earth-like exoplanets yet discovered according to a commonly used metric, said Abel Mendez Torres, director of the Planetary Habitability Laboratory at the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo.
