HD 50885, also known as HR 2581, is a star located in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis, the giraffe. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.69, [2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye if viewed under ideal conditions. Based on parallax measurements from Gaia DR3, the object is estimated to be 513 light years distant. [1] It appears to be approaching the Solar System with a heliocentric radial velocity of −17.8  km/s . [5]

This is a solitary, [12] evolved red giant star with a stellar classification of K4 III. [4] It is currently on the red giant branch, [3] fusing a hydrogen shell around an inert helium core. It has 1.32 times the mass of the Sun [7] but has expanded to 30.4 times its girth. [8] It radiates 203 times the luminosity of the Sun [1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,396  K . [10] HD 50885 has an iron abundance only 102% that of the Sun, placing it at solar metallicity. [9]

There is an optical companion located 119″ away along a position angle of 357°. [13] This object was first noticed by Robert S. Ball in 1879 [14]
