94 Ceti bor94 Ceti Ab to distinguish it from the distant red dwarf companion, is an extrasolar planet orbiting its star once every 1.2 years. It was discovered on August 7, 2000 by a team led by Michel Mayor.[2]
It is most stable if its inclination is about 65 or 115, yielding a mass of about 1.85 that of Jupiter.[1]
