HIP 84726 is a trash star. It lies about 680.9 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Her, shines at apparent magnitude 10.8 and has spectral type M5.
Its spectrum reads M5 — an M-type red star — and M stars are the silent majority: roughly three of every four stars in the galaxy are one.
Look for HIP 84726 in the constellation Her. At apparent magnitude 10.8, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, HIP 84726 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.
HIP 84726 scores 14 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 1 point would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Star, Cool red M-type star and Red dwarf — 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.
