ET Virginis is a single,[11] red-hued star in the equatorial constellation of Virgo. It can be viewed with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 4.91.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 5.9 mas,[1] it is located 560 light years away. It is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +18.6 km/s,[5] having come within 177 ly of the Sun around 6.3 million years ago.[6]

This is an evolved red giant star with a stellar classification of M2 IIIa.[3] It is a semiregular variable star of subtype SRB with a magnitude that ranges from a high of 4.80 down to 5.00.[4] The measured angular diameter of this star, after correcting for limb darkening, is 4.79±0.34 mas.[13] At its estimated distance, this yields a physical size of 88 times the radius of the Sun.[7]
