Star in the constellation Pavo
HD 186302 (also designated HIP 97507) is a star in the constellation of Pavo. It is 185 light-years (57 parsecs) away from Earth, with an apparent magnitude of 8.76. It was identified in November 2018 as a potential solar sibling to the Sun. Similar in spectrum and size, it was suspected to have formed in the same stellar nursery as the Sun 4.6 billion years ago. However, a common origin with the Sun was found to be unlikely in a 2019 paper, as HD 186302's galactic orbit is very different from the Sun's.
