37 Geminorum is a star located at the northwest part of the northern zodiac constellation of Gemini. Its distance from the Sun is about 56.2 light years. It is a solitary, G-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of G0 V. No extrasolar planets have yet been discovered around it. It is the target of a METI message dubbed the Teen Age Message. It has also been listed in the Catalog of Nearby Habitable Systems.

Teen Age Message

There was a METI message sent to 37 Geminorum. It was transmitted from Eurasia's largest radar, 70-meter Yevpatoria Planetary Radar. The message was named the Teen Age Message, it was sent on September 3, 2001, and it will arrive at 37 Geminorum in December 2057.[10]

Catalog of Nearby Habitable Systems

The Catalog of Nearby Habitable Systems (HabCat) is a list of approximately 17,000 relatively close stars similar to the sun and considered able to support a planet habitable by humans. 37 Geminorum is on the HabCat list.[11]
