Noquisi
Scientific overview
Noquisi is a red dwarf in the constellation Leo (Leonis), lying about 33.08 light-years from Earth.
Class M. Cool red stars. The most common type in the galaxy, ranging from red dwarfs to red giants. Such stars have surface temperatures around 2,400–3,700 K and appear red to the eye.

Evolution
A red dwarf is a small, cool, low-mass main-sequence star. Red dwarfs burn their fuel so slowly that they can shine for tens of billions of years — far longer than the present age of the universe.
