Atria is an epic star. It lies about 390.6 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation TrA, shines at apparent magnitude 1.91 and has spectral type K2IIb-IIIa.
Its spectrum reads K2IIb-IIIa — a K-type star. Orange K dwarfs are the marathon runners of the galaxy, burning steadily for tens of billions of years.
Look for Atria in the constellation TrA. At apparent magnitude 1.91, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, Atria 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.
Atria scores 52 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 26 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 7 science badges — Star, Naked-eye visible, Has a proper name, Orange K-type star, Bright giant, Deep red star and Intrinsically luminous (Mv < −2) — 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.
