Please educate yourself. The fourth nearest star is a red dwarf. Wolf 359 is only 11.9 light years away, and appears as it did during the Bush administration.

Correction 7.9 light years. My memory isn’t as good as it used to be.

I did not specify a time frame for this particular star. Because it was not in the article. But it should have been. It rambled on and on without answering this question that I had from the moment I read the headline.
