This is a very close low mass star that is very dim only 75 trillion miles out is very close to our Solar system .. but not the closest according to current astronomical data. I think these stars have mini solar systems much like we see with Jupiter and Saturn's moons that may contain life. Jupiter's main moons are located well within 2 million miles of Jupiter.. Astronomers classify this star as a RED/Brown Dwarf due to it's low mass .
I tried to make this according to how it would look if you saw it with your own eyes.. 1 /300,000 th the luminosity of our sun would make it's photosphere very visible to our naked eyes . It would probably wouldnt be even as bright as our full Moon if it were 93 million miles away like our Sun is. I don't think we would even have to squint looking at it up close.
I might be using this particular star model I made for a upcoming creature effects 3d learning experience I have been evading in my 3d adventures for too long.
