70 Cancri is a star in the zodiac constellation of Cancer, located around 580 light years from the Sun. It is a challenge to view with the naked eye even under good seeing conditions, having an apparent visual magnitude of 6.7. The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of -21 km/s, and is expected to come to within 44 light-years in around nine million years. It is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A1V. The object has a radius of about 2.7 R☉ and is radiating 76 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,887 K.
