Zeta Caeli, Latinized from ζ Caeli, is an orange-hued star in the constellation Caelum with a visual magnitude of +6.36. [2] It is an evolved K-type giant star and a member of the Milky Way's thick disk population. [8] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 7.59 mas as seen from Earth, [1] this star is located about 430 light years from the Sun.
