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 a quarter further than Earth orbits the Sun. The 500 day orbit is somewhat eccentric. This planet receives similar insolation to Earth, meaning that if this planet have any moons, it can provide habitable environment suitable for supporting life.
