HD 69830 (285 G. Puppis) is an orange dwarf star approximately 41 light-years away in the constellation of Puppis. In 2005 the Spitzer Space Telescope discovered a debris disk orbiting the star. The disk contains substantially more dust than the Solar System’s asteroid belt. As of 2006 it has been confirmed that three extrasolar planets with minimum masses comparable to Neptune orbit the star located interior to the debris disk.
