HD 39118 (HD 39119, HR 2024) is a spectroscopic binary star in the constellation Orion, close to the celestial equator. It is made up from three stars: a cool primary (a K-type giant star) and a hot secondary, which is a binary star formed from a B-type main-sequence star and an A-type main-sequence star. A 2021 estimate derive a distance of 708 parsecs (2,310 ly) to HD 39118, and it is moving away from Earth at a speed of 4.24 km/s. The apparent magnitude is 5.976, making it visible to the naked eye only from dark skies.
