It has an apparent magnitude of about 4.25, meaning that it is visible to the naked eye. Based upon parallax measurements made by the Hipparcos spacecraft, this star is located some 156 light years (48 parsecs) away from the Sun. 88 Tauri is a sextuple star system, meaning that it contains six stars in a hierarchical orbit.
