BG Indi, also known as κ1 Indi (Kappa1 Indi) is a multiple star system in the southern constellation of Indus. Its average apparent magnitude is 6.141,[3] meaning it can only be seen by the naked eye under exceptionally good viewing conditions. Stellar parallax measurements by Gaia put the system at about 166 light-years (51 parsecs) away.[2]
