HIP 91668 is a trash star. It lies about 106.5 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Aql, shines at apparent magnitude 12.23 and has spectral type K4.
Its spectrum reads K4 — a K-type star. Orange K dwarfs are the marathon runners of the galaxy, burning steadily for tens of billions of years.
Look for HIP 91668 in the constellation Aql. At apparent magnitude 12.23, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.
Like any astronomical target, HIP 91668 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 91668 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, Orange K-type star and Deep red 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.
