variability in the radial velocity of Barnard's Star was attributed to its stellar activity. The proper motion of Barnard's Star corresponds to a relative lateral speed of 90km/s.

Its apparent magnitude is 9.5. At 7–12 billion years of age, Barnard's Star is considerably older than the Sun, which is 4.5 billion years old, and it might be among the oldest stars in the Milky Way galaxy. Barnard's Star has lost a great deal of rotational energy, a...
