YZ Ceti

YZ Ceti is a Naine red in the Constellation of the Baleine. Although relatively near to the Ground to a little more than 12 light-years, this star has a too weak luminosity (1/5000e of that of the sun for a mass of 8,5%) to be seen with the naked eye from surface of our planet.

YZ Ceti is classified as a eruptive star whose Luminosité fluctuates by intermitence.

YZ Ceti is unusually close to Tau Ceti, a star of spectral Type G8. Both are separate only of 0,72 light-year, that is to say 17% the distance Sun/Proxima Centauri.
