HD 20367 b
HD 20367 b is an extrasolar planet approximately 88 light years away in the constellation of Aries. It has mass similar to that of Jupiter. It orbits the star at a mean distance that is a quarter farther than Earth orbits from the Sun. The 470-day (1.3 year) orbit is somewhat eccentric. However, subsequent observations put the existence of this planet strongly in doubt.[2]
