Also known as HH Andromedae or Gliese 905, Ross 248 is a small star approximately 10.3 light years (3.16 parsecs) from Earth in the Andromeda constellation. First catalogued by Frank Elmore Ross in 1926, the star has about 12% of the Sun's mass and 16% of the Sun's radius. It is seen as a red dwarf star as well, having an apparent magnitude of 12.6. In 40,000 years, Voyager 2 will pass 1.7 light years away from the star, and in 80,000 years, Ross 248 will be the closest star to Earth and the Sun for a brief time.
In the Tasty Planet game, Ross 248 is in Cosmos 2, where it can be eaten when the Grey Goo eats Proxima Centauri.
