Alkalurops B is an uncommon star. It lies about 117.6 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Boo, shines at apparent magnitude 6.51 and has spectral type G1V.
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 Alkalurops B in the constellation Boo. At apparent magnitude 6.51, it is an easy target for binoculars.
Like any astronomical target, Alkalurops B 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.
Alkalurops B scores 27 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 7 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 5 science badges — Star, Binary star, Has a proper name, Sun-like G-type star and Main-sequence 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.
