GL Gl 735 is an uncommon variable star. It lies about 38.4 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Aql, shines at apparent magnitude 10.1 and has spectral type M2Ve.
Its spectrum reads M2Ve — an M-type red star — and M stars are the silent majority: roughly three of every four stars in the galaxy are one.
Look for GL Gl 735 in the constellation Aql. At apparent magnitude 10.1, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, GL Gl 735 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.
GL Gl 735 scores 33 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 1 point would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 7 science badges — Variable star, Cool red M-type star, Main-sequence star, Deep red star, Red dwarf, Gently variable 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.
