Lambda Geminorum (λ Gem, λ Geminorum) is a class A3, fourth-magnitude star in the constellation Gemini. Lambda Geminorum is a variable star located about 95 light-years from Earth. It has 2.8 times the radius of the Sun and is radiating 27 times the Sun's luminosity. It has 2.1 times the mass of the Sun and is around 800 million years old.[3]
