30 Arietis (abbreviated 30 Ari) is a 6th-apparent-magnitude multiple star system in the constellation of Aries. 30 Arietis is the Flamsteed designation. 30 Arietis A and B are separated by 38.1, or about 1,700 AU at a distance of 145 light-years away. The main components of both systems are both binaries with composite spectra belonging to F-type main-sequence stars, meaning they are fusing hydrogen in their cores. 30 Arietis B also has a second stellar companion, making a total of five stars. The 30 Arietis system is 910 million years old, one fifth the age of the Sun.
