HD 34445 is a 7th magnitude G-type star located approximately 152 light years away in the constellation Orion. This star is larger, hotter, brighter, and more massive than our Sun. Also its metal content is 40% greater than the Sun. In 2004, a gas giant planet was found in orbit around the star. But it wasn’t until 2009 that this planet was confirmed.
