GL Gl 570B is a rare star. It lies about 19.3 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Lib, shines at apparent magnitude 8.01 and has spectral type K5V.
It is a binary: two stars orbiting a shared centre of mass. More than half of all the 'stars' you can see are actually multiple systems.
Look for GL Gl 570B in the constellation Lib. At apparent magnitude 8.01, it is an easy target for binoculars.
Like any astronomical target, GL Gl 570B 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 570B scores 37 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the rare tier. Another 13 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 7 science badges — Star, Nearby (<25 ly), Binary star, On the zodiac, Orange K-type star, Main-sequence star and Deep red 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.
