HD 181720

HD 181720 is an 8th magnitude G-type main sequence star located approximately 190 light years away in the constellation Sagittarius. This star is larger, hotter, brighter, and less massive than our Sun. Also its metal content is three-tenths as much as the Sun. In 2009, a gas giant planet was found in orbit around the star.
