HD 76920 is a solitary[8] orange-hued star with an orbiting exoplanetary companion in the southern constellation of Volans, close to the border with Carina. With an apparent magnitude of 7.82, it is too faint to be seen by the naked eye from Earth but is readily observable through binoculars.[9] It is located at a distance of 597 light-years (183 parsecs) according to Gaia EDR3 parallax measurements, and is moving away at a heliocentric radial velocity of 20.09 km/s.
