HD 157819 is the Henry Draper Catalogue designation for a star in the southern constellation of Ara. It is faintly visible to the naked eye at an apparent visual magnitude of 5.94[2] and is approximately 1,000 light-years (310 parsecs) distant from the Earth.[1] The spectrum of this star fits a stellar classification of G8 II-III,[3] indicating it is a G-type star that is somewhere between the giant and bright giant stages of its evolution.
