HR 3750
Scientific overview
HR 3750 is a yellow dwarf in the constellation Hydra (Hydrae), lying about 99.2 light-years from Earth.
Class G. Yellow stars like the Sun. On the main sequence they steadily fuse hydrogen into helium. Such stars have surface temperatures around 5,200–6,000 K and appear yellow to the eye.

Evolution
A yellow dwarf is a G-type main-sequence star like the Sun. After about ten billion years it will swell into a red giant and finally leave behind a white dwarf.
