Mu Geminorum or μ Geminorum, formally named Tejat (/ˈtiːdʒət/),[14] is a single star in the northern/tropical constellation of Gemini which can be seen from all but Antarctic latitudes. From parallax measurements obtained during the Hipparcos mission, it is roughly 230 light-years (71 parsecs) distant from the Sun.[1] The position of the star near the ecliptic means that it is subject to lunar occultations.[15]

Mu Geminorum forms the primary or 'A' component of a double star system designated WDS J06230+2231 along with UCAC2 39641417[16] (also designated WDS J06230+2231BC), itself a binary pair.[17]
