47 Ursae Majoris (often abbreviated 47 UMa) is a solar analog yellow dwarf star approximately 46 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Ursa Major. As of 2011 it has been confirmed that three Jupiter-like extrasolar planets orbit the star. Because of this 47 Ursae Majoris was listed as one of top 100 target stars for NASA’s former Terrestrial Planet Finder mission.
