Zeta Telescopii (ζ Telescopii) is the second-brightest star in the southern constellation of Telescopium. It is a solitary,[9] orange-hued star that is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.13.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 25.84 mas as seen from Earth,[1] it is located around 127 light years from the Sun.

This is a red clump[2] giant star of spectral type K1 III-IV.[3] The measured angular diameter is 2.16±0.11 mas.[10] At its estimated distance, this yields a physical size of about 9 times the radius of the Sun.[6] It is around 1.53[2] times as massive as the Sun and it shines at an effective temperature of 4,801 K.[7]
