GL Gl 567 is an uncommon variable star. It lies about 37.5 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Boo, shines at apparent magnitude 6 and has spectral type K2V.
Its spectrum reads K2V — a K-type star. Orange K dwarfs are the marathon runners of the galaxy, burning steadily for tens of billions of years.
Look for GL Gl 567 in the constellation Boo. At apparent magnitude 6, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, GL Gl 567 is best seen from a dark site away from city lights, and when it is above the horizon depends on your latitude and the time of year. The visibility panel above works out tonight's viewing window for your saved location.
GL Gl 567 scores 33 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 1 point would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 6 science badges — Variable star, Orange K-type star, Main-sequence star, Gently variable, Fades out of naked-eye view and A named variable star — each earned for a real, measurable property of the object. Rarity on Spacedle is never random: the more remarkable an object's astrophysics, the more badges it collects, the higher it scores, and the rarer it ranks.
