HD 37124 b is an extrasolar planet approximately 108 light-years away in the constellation of Taurus (the Bull). The planet was discovered in 1999 orbiting the star HD 37124 at the inside edge of its star's habitable zone. Because of this, it is believed that this planet would have an insolation similar to that of Venus. Based on its mass, it is most likely that this planet is a Jovian planet (like Jupiter), but with a radius slightly smaller than Jupiter.
