Del Cir is an epic variable star. It sits in the constellation Cir, shines at apparent magnitude 5.04 and has spectral type O8.5V.
Its spectrum reads O8.5V — an O-type star — the hottest, rarest main class there is. Fewer than one star in a million is an O, and none of them lasts long.
Look for Del Cir in the constellation Cir. At apparent magnitude 5.04, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, Del Cir 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.
Del Cir scores 53 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 25 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 7 science badges — Variable star, Naked-eye visible, Blazing O-type star, Main-sequence star, Blue-white star, Gently variable 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.
