HD 138573 is a G-type main-sequence star in the constellation Serpens, class G5IV-V, roughly 98.4 light-years (30.2 parsecs) from Earth. This is a solar twin, with nearly the same characteristics of the Sun, and has been described as the second-closest star to the Sun (after 18 Scorpii) in a 2014 publication. It is known to be more active than the Sun.

Mahdi et al. (2016) named the star the best solar twin candidate out of their dataset of around 2,800 candidates.
