'Gliese 1' ('Gl 1' or 'GJ 1') is a
red dwarf star in the
constellation Sculptor, which is found in the southern part of the sky. As it lies very close to the origin of the astronomical
right ascension coordinates, it became the first star in both the
Henry L. Giclas and the
Luyten Half-Second star catalogues. It is one of the closest stars to the Sun, at an approximate distance of 14.2
light years. However it is too faint to be seen with the unaided eye. The
stellar classification of this star has been rated from M1.5V to M3.0V by various sources.
