BETA HYDRI is a yellow-orange dwarf which is currently classified as a subgiant.  This star is evolving off the main sequence as it begins to fuse increasing amounts of helium ash mixed with hydrogen at its core.  As it has gradually continued to exhaust its remaining supply of hydrogen, it has brightened and expanded in size to the star we see today.  This system is made up of three gas giants which have a combined total of 83 moons in orbit around them.  Beyond this is a dense field of asteroids, water-ice, and dust debris.
