HD 74156 c is an extrasolar planet at least eight times the mass of Jupiter but likely to be smaller than the innermost planet (roughtly Jupiter's size), with an eccentric orbit that occasionally passes through the star's habitable zone. It would thus be subject to extreme shifts of temperature. It is most likely a gas giant. This planet was discovered by Dominique Naef and Michel Mayor in April 2001 together with the first planet HD 74156 b.
