Phi1Pav is a common star. It lies about 90.6 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Pav, shines at apparent magnitude 4.75 and has spectral type F1III.
Its spectrum reads F1III — an F-type star — a little hotter, whiter and shorter-lived than the Sun.
Look for Phi1Pav in the constellation Pav. At apparent magnitude 4.75, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, Phi1Pav 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.
Phi1Pav scores 20 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the common tier. Another 2 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 4 science badges — Star, Naked-eye visible, 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.
