AU Microscopii (AU Mic) is a young red dwarf star located 31.7 light-years (9.7 parsecs) away – about 8 times as far as the closest star after the Sun.[5] The apparent visual magnitude of AU Microscopii is 8.73,[2] which is too dim to be seen with the naked eye. It was given this designation because it is in the southern constellation Microscopium and is a variable star. Like β Pictoris, AU Microscopii has a circumstellar disk of dust known as a debris disk and at least two exoplanets, with the presence of an additional two planets being likely.[6][3]
