Gliese 9370 is a binary system containing a yellow dwarf star with a much fainter orange companion. Apart from its companion star, the yellow dwarf is a relatively close analogue for the Sun, being only slightly larger and more massive. So, this image gives a reasonable impression of how the Solar System would appear, if viewed from a distance of about eighty light years. Imagery provided by Aladin sky atlas
