HD 219134 b (or HR 8832 b) is one of seven exoplanets orbiting HR 8832, a main-sequence star in the constellation of Cassiopeia.[3][5][6][7] As of July 2015, super-Earth HD 219134 b, with a size of about 1.6 Earth Radii, and a density of 6g/cm3, was reported as the closest rocky exoplanet to the Earth, at 21.25 light-years away.[3] The exoplanet was initially detected by the instrument HARPS-N of the Italian Telescopio Nazionale Galileo via the radial velocity method and subsequently observed by the Spitzer telescope as transiting in front of its star.[3][6] The exoplanet has a mass of about 4.5 times that of Earth and orbits its host star every three days.[3]
