Mu1 Gruis, Latinized from μ1 Gruis, is a binary star[3] system in the southern constellation of Grus. It is visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.79.[2] The distance to this system, as determined using an annual parallax shift of 11.44 mas as seen from the Earth,[1] is around 275 light years. The yellow-hued primary component is an evolved giant star with stellar classification of G III[4] and visual magnitude 5.20.[3] The secondary is magnitude 6.68 G-type star.[3]
