HD 38283
HD 38283 is a 7th magnitude F-type main sequence star located approximately 125 light-years away in the constellation of Mensa. HD 38283 is not visible to the naked eyes for most people but can be easily seen using binoculars.
Planetary system.
On April 11, 2011, a Saturnian planet, HD 38283 b, was discovered in an Earth-like 363-day orbit. HD 38283 b itself turns out to be unable to host habitable exomoons, both because of its significant eccentricity (for the
similar distance from its parent star as Earth. But, given the planet's high eccentricity, and the star being more than twice as luminous as our Sun, hypothetical life on the moons may be a bit unlikely.
HD 38283 b was discovered on 11 April 2011 using the radial velocity technique using the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT). This method uses to look for planets by watching the star periodically wobble caused by the gravitational tug of the orbiting planets.
