Location of Gliese 623 in the constellation Hercules

Gliese 623 is a dim binary star 26.09 light-years from Earth in the constellation Hercules. It was photographed by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope's Faint Object Camera in 1994.[6] The binary system consists of two red dwarfs orbiting each other at a distance of 1.9 astronomical units.[4]
