94Nu Her is a rare variable star. It lies about 860.6 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Her, shines at apparent magnitude 4.41 and has spectral type F2II.
Its spectrum reads F2II — an F-type star — a little hotter, whiter and shorter-lived than the Sun.
Look for 94Nu Her in the constellation Her. At apparent magnitude 4.41, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, 94Nu Her 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.
94Nu Her scores 43 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the rare tier. Another 7 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 7 science badges — Variable star, Naked-eye visible, Yellow-white F-type star, Bright giant, Intrinsically luminous (Mv < −2), Barely variable (under 0.05 mag) and A named variable 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.
