Rastaban is an epic star. It lies about 380.1 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Dra, shines at apparent magnitude 2.79 and has spectral type G2II.
Its spectrum reads G2II — a G-type star: the very same spectral class as our own Sun.
Look for Rastaban in the constellation Dra. At apparent magnitude 2.79, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, Rastaban 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.
Rastaban 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 — Star, Naked-eye visible, Has a proper name, Never sets (northern circumpolar), Sun-like G-type star, Bright giant 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.
