HD 211415 is a double star in the constellation Grus. With an apparent visual magnitude of 5.33,[5] it is visible to the naked eye. The annual parallax shift is 71.09 mas,[2] which yields a distance measurement of 45.88 light years. It has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of 769 mas per year,[2] and is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −13 km/s.[6]

The two members of this system take about 220 years to complete an orbit around each other, and are separated about a semi-major axis of 42.3 AU, although the very high orbital eccentricity of 0.775 mean this value is highly variable.[8]

HD 211415 was identified in September 2003 by astrobiologist Margaret Turnbull from the University of Arizona in Tucson as one of the most promising nearby candidates for hosting life based on her analysis of the HabCat list of stars.[13] It is a G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G0 V,[4] and has 6.5 billion years of age.[10]
