Struve 2398 B is an epic star. It lies about 11.3 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Dra, shines at apparent magnitude 9.7 and has spectral type K5.
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 Struve 2398 B in the constellation Dra. At apparent magnitude 9.7, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, Struve 2398 B 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.
Struve 2398 B scores 50 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 28 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 8 science badges — Star, Nearby (<25 ly), Binary star, Has a proper name, Never sets (northern circumpolar), Orange K-type star, Deep red star and Intrinsically feeble (Mv > +12) — 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.
