110 Herculis (HIP 92043)
110 Herculis is a white subgiant star in the constellation Hercules. At 63 light years away, it shines at an apparent visual magnitude of 4.19. 110 Herculis is a component of a multiple-star system. The star's age is estimated to be 2.4 billion years but is certainly no less than 2.3 billion years and no greater than 2.5 billion years. The iron abundance of 110 Herculis is -0.03 (93.3% of the Sun). It is moving through the Galaxy at a speed of 38.3 km/s relative to the Sun. Its projected Galactic orbit carries it between 21,400 and 40,100 light years from the center of the Galaxy. It came closest to the Sun 295,000 years ago when it had brightened to magnitude 3.70 from a distance of 50 light years.
