Scientific overview

HR 3367 is a subgiant in the constellation Pyxis (Pyxidis), lying about 345.1 light-years from Earth.

Class B. Hot, blue-white stars. Massive and luminous, they often light up the regions where they form. Such stars have surface temperatures around 10,000–30,000 K and appear blue-white to the eye.
