37 Geminorum is a solitary[11] Sun-like star located at the northwest part of the northern constellation of Gemini, about three degrees to the east of the bright star Epsilon Geminorum.[12] The apparent visual magnitude of 37 Geminorum is 5.74,[2] which is just bright enough to be visible to the naked eye on a dark night. It is located at a distance of 57 light years from the Sun based on parallax.[1] This star is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −15 km/s, and is predicted to come as near as 13.8 light-years in approximately a million years.[5] It is positioned close enough to the ecliptic to be subject to lunar occultations, such as happened on April 8, 1984.[13]
