Gliese 67 (HIP 7918)
Gliese 67 is a yellow main-sequence star in the constellation Andromeda. At 42 light years away, it shines at an apparent visual magnitude of 4.96. Gliese 67 is a multiple-star system. The star's age is estimated to be 6.1 billion years but is certainly no less than 3.5 billion years and no greater than 8.2 billion years. The iron abundance of Gliese 67 is 0 (100.0% of the Sun). It is moving through the Galaxy at a speed of 49.7 km/s relative to the Sun. Its projected Galactic orbit carries it between 17,300 and 25,200 light years from the center of the Galaxy.
Sky position: RA 1h 41.8m, Dec +42° 36.6'
