82 Aquarii is a star in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. 82 Aquarii is its Flamsteed designation. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 6.15,[2] which, according to the Bortle Dark-Sky Scale, means it is a faint star that requires dark rural skies to view. The annual parallax shift of 82 Aquarii is 3.6764±0.1715 mas, which equates to a distance of roughly 890 light-years (270 parsecs) from Earth.[6] Because this star is positioned near the ecliptic, it is subject to lunar eclipses.[7]

This object is an aging red giant star currently on the asymptotic giant branch[8] with a stellar classification of M2 III,[3] having exhausted both the hydrogen and helium at its core and expanded to 56 times the Sun's radius.[1] It is a suspected variable star of unknown type that ranges in magnitude between 6.24 and 6.29.[4] The star is radiating 693 times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,946 K.[1]
