Gliese 829 is a double-lined spectroscopic binary[5] system of two red dwarf stars in the constellation of Pegasus. They have a high proper motion of 1.08 arcseconds per year along a position angle of +69.58°.[8] Based upon parallax measurements, the stars are at a distance of about 22 light years from the Sun.[1] The system will make its closest approach to the Sun around 91,000 years from now when it achieves a perihelion distance of 17.65 ly (5.410 pc).[4]
