HD 46375 is 96.4 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 1 planet around this K1 IV-V star; the first was found in 2000 by radial velocity (W. M. Keck Observatory).
Fly there in 3DHD 46375 b goes round its star every 3.02 days, 29 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.
HD 46375 is one of 2 stars in its system. The position of the other star is not catalogued, so only HD 46375 and its planets are drawn.

Values are the NASA Exoplanet Archive’s composite parameters. A radius marked estimated comes from a mass–radius relation; a mass marked minimum is M sin i. Planet sizes and colours in the 3D view are renderings: none of these worlds has been photographed as more than a point of light.
For a star of 5,285 K, 0.57 times as bright as the Sun, the habitable zone, where starlight could keep water liquid on a rocky surface, runs from about 0.74 to 1.32 AU. None of its known planets orbits inside it. The zone says how much starlight arrives, not whether a planet has water or air. The edges follow Kopparapu et al. (2014), as the 3D view draws them.
The light you see left 96 years ago, within living memory.
