HD 186302 (also designated HIP 97507)[1] is a star in the constellation of Pavo. It is about 184 light-years (56 parsecs) away from Earth, with an apparent magnitude of 8.76.[1] It was identified in November 2018 as a potential solar sibling to the Sun. It is very similar to the Sun; the Sun is a G2V star. Similar by spectrum and size, it may have formed in the same stellar nursery as the Sun 4.57 billion years ago.[2]
