WASP-3 is a triple star system located about 753 light-years (231 parsecs) away from the Sun in the constellation Lyra. The system has an apparent magnitude of 10. The brightest and most massive star of this system is WASP-3A, an F-type main sequence star which has one known transiting hot Jupiter exoplanet, WASP-3b. Since the planet transits the star, the star is classified as a planetary transit variable and has received the variable star designation V838 Lyrae.[7]
