Aladfar is an uncommon star. It lies about 1,387.9 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Lyr, shines at apparent magnitude 4.43 and has spectral type B2.5IV.
Notable enough to have earned a proper name, not just a catalogue number.
Look for Aladfar in the constellation Lyr. At apparent magnitude 4.43, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, Aladfar 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.
Aladfar scores 29 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 4 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 4 science badges — Star, Distant (>1000 ly), Naked-eye visible and Has a proper name — 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.
