Dziban is a rare star. It lies about 74.5 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Dra, shines at apparent magnitude 4.57 and has spectral type F5IV-V.
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 Dziban in the constellation Dra. At apparent magnitude 4.57, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, Dziban 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.
Dziban scores 37 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the rare tier. Another 13 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 7 science badges — Star, Naked-eye visible, Binary star, Has a proper name, Never sets (northern circumpolar), Yellow-white F-type star and Subgiant (leaving the main sequence) — 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.
