HIP 92856 is a trash star. It lies about 583.5 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Her, shines at apparent magnitude 11.2 and has spectral type F4III.
Its spectrum reads F4III — an F-type star — a little hotter, whiter and shorter-lived than the Sun.
Look for HIP 92856 in the constellation Her. At apparent magnitude 11.2, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, HIP 92856 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 92856 scores 12 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 3 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Star, Yellow-white F-type star and Giant 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.
