The blue and orange markers here show the path of the faint red dwarf IL Aquarii across the sky, relative to its background stars. IL Aquarii is a near neighbour of the Sun at a distance of just over fifteen light years, and hence shows a clearly detectable proper motion compared to the more distant stars beyond.
