LHS 292 is a red dwarf star in the constellation Sextans. This star is far too faint to be seen with the unaided eye, although it lies relatively close to our Sun at a distance of about 14.8 light years. It is a flare star, which means it can suddenly increase in brightness for short periods of time.
