WISE J080822.18-644357.3, also called J0808, is a 45+11−7 Myr old star system in the constellation Volans with a circumstellar debris disk orbiting an M-type red dwarf about 331 lightyears from Earth. On October 21, 2016, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center announced that its citizen science project, Disk Detective, discovered a debris disk around J0808, using the WISE telescope, a M5.5V dwarf with significant infrared excess at both 12 and 22 μm.
