Lacaille9352 is located about 10.7 light-years (ly) from our Sun, Sol, in the southwestern edge (23:05:42.04-35:51:11.06, ICRS 2000.0) of Constellation Piscis Australis (or Austrinus), the Southern Fish, near Constellation Grus, the Crane -- southeast of Beta Piscis Australis/Austrini and southwest of Gamma and Delta Piscis Australis/Austrini.
Lacaille9352 (Gl or GJ 887) is larger
Lacaille9352 may have less than half (47 percent) of Sol's mass, about half (47 to 57 percent) of its diameter, 1.1 percent of its luminosity, and only about one tenth of Sol's abundance of elements heavier than hydrogen ("metallicity").
Also known as AX Microscopii, Lacaille 8760 is located about 12.9 light-years (ly) from our Sun, Sol, in the south central part (21:17:15.3-38:52:2.5, ICRS 2000.0) of Constellation Microscopium, the Microscope -- south of Alpha Microscopii, southwest of Gamma Microscopii, northwest of Theta1 Microscopii, and north of Zeta and Alpha Indi (The Persian).
Although Lacaille 8760 is the brightest red (more orange-red to some astronomers) dwarf star in Earth's night sky, the star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye by most Humans (Kenneth Croswell, 2002).
Lacaille 8760 may have around 60 percent of Sol's mass (RECONS), about 66 to 72 percent of its diameter ((Pasinetti-Fracassini et al, 2001; Johnson and Wright, 1983, page 699; and Claude H.
