Gliese 436 is a red dwarf located 31.9 light-years (9.8 parsecs) away in the zodiac constellation of Leo. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 10.67,[3] which is much too faint to be seen with the naked eye. However, it can be viewed with even a modest telescope of 2.4 in (6 cm) aperture.[12] In 2004, the existence of an extrasolar planet, Gliese 436 b, was verified as orbiting the star. This planet was later discovered to transit its host star.
