Eta Sagittae(η Sagittae) is solitary[8]starin the northernconstellationofSagitta.It is faintly visible to the naked eye, having anapparent visual magnitudeof +5.09.[2]Based upon an annualparallaxshift of20.34mas,[1]it is approximately160light yearsdistant from theSun.There is a 61.1% chance that it is a member of theHyades-Pleiadesstream of stars that share acommon motion through space.[9]

This is anevolvedK-typegiant starwith astellar classificationof K2 III.[3]At the age of about 1.7 billion years,[6]it is now ared clumpstar that is generating energy through the fusion of helium at its core.[10]Eta Sagittae has 1.7 times themass of the Sunand has expanded to seven times theSun's radius.It is radiating 25.7 times theSun's luminosityfrom itsphotosphereat aneffective temperatureof4,784K.[6]
