HD 90156 is a 7th magnitude G-type main sequence star located approximately 129 light years away in the constellation Hydra. This star is smaller, cooler, fainter, and less massive than our Sun. Also its metal content is over half as much as the Sun. In 2009, a gas giant planet was found in orbit around the star.
