NGC 91 (PGC 3325956, GC 41, GC 5097, or NPD 68 22.9) is a star with an apparent magnitude of 14.4 in the constellation of Andromeda. The star is southwest of the galaxy NGC 90. Discovered in 1866 by Herman Schultz, there have been many arguments if this star exists or not. However, people have observed the star, and have confirmed that NGC 91 exists. [2]

c Puppis, also known as HD 63032 and HR 3017, is a spectroscopic binary star in the constellation Puppis. Its apparent magnitude is 3.61. Located around 347 parsecs (1,130 ly) distant, the primary is an orange-red bright giant or supergiant of spectral type K2.5Ib-IIa or K5IIa, while the secondary, discovered in 1983, is a blue main-sequence star of spectral type B9V. The system is the brightest member of the open cluster NGC 2451, over two magnitudes brighter than every other star in the cluster. As the turnoff point of the cluster is currently around B7, the parameters of the system fit with cluster membership.

YBP 1194 is a G-type main-sequence star, class G5V, in the open cluster M67 in the constellation Cancer. It is the best solar twin found to date, having the near exact temperature and mass as the Sun. YBP 1194 has a higher metallicity than the Sun and is 0.5 billion years younger at an age of 4.2 billion years old, but due to the distance, the error bar is high at ±1.6 billion years. On December 19, 2013, it was announced to have an extrasolar planet with a period of 6.9 days and a high eccentricity of 0.24 with a mass of 0.34 MJ. It is about 2,772 light-years from the Sun. It is packed in a small cluster, Messier 67, with a radius of 10 ly, with over 500 other stars. For comparison, the Sun has 17 stars at a distance of 10 ly and about 134 stars at a distance of 20 ly.
