GL GJ 4119 is an uncommon star. It lies about 88.8 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Sgr, shines at apparent magnitude 10.03 and has spectral type M1.
Its spectrum reads M1 — 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 GJ 4119 in the constellation Sgr. At apparent magnitude 10.03, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, GL GJ 4119 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 GJ 4119 scores 25 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 9 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 5 science badges — Star, Toward the galactic centre, On the zodiac, Cool red M-type star and Red dwarf — 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.
