HD 177808 is a 6th magnitude star in the constellation Lyra, approximately 556 light years away from Earth. It is a solitary [5] red giant star of the spectral type M0III, meaning it possesses a surface temperature of around 3,940 kelvins. It is therefore much larger and brighter than the Sun, yet cooler in comparison.
