Chi3 Sagittarii

Chi3 Sagittarii (χ3 Sagittarii) is a solitary,[11] orange-hued star in the zodiac constellation of Sagittarius. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.45.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 6.53 mas as seen from Earth,[1] it is located roughly 500 light years from the Sun. It is receding from the Earth with a radial velocity of 39.6 km/s.[5]
