GJ 896 A is 20.4 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 1 planet around this M3.5 V star; the first was found in 2022 by astrometry (Very Long Baseline Array).
Fly there in 3DGJ 896 A b takes 284.4 days to go round its star once.
GJ 896 A is one of 2 stars in its system: the other is drawn where the Washington Double Star Catalog measures it on the sky.

Values are the NASA Exoplanet Archive’s composite parameters. A radius marked estimated comes from a mass–radius relation; a mass marked minimum is M sin i. Planet sizes and colours in the 3D view are renderings: none of these worlds has been photographed as more than a point of light.
