Encyclopedic overview
Gliese 667 (142 G. Scorpii) is a triple-star system in the constellation Scorpius lying at a distance of about 7.2 parsecs (23 light-years) from Earth. All three of the stars have masses smaller than the Sun. To the naked eye, the system appears to be a single faint star of magnitude 5.89. The system has a relatively high proper motion, exceeding 1 second of arc per year.
There is a 12th-magnitude star visually close to the other three, but it is a distant background star not gravitationally bound to the system.
