HIP 107156 is a trash star. It lies about 1,148.4 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Cyg, shines at apparent magnitude 9.8 and has spectral type K5Vp+....
Its spectrum reads K5Vp+... — a K-type star. Orange K dwarfs are the marathon runners of the galaxy, burning steadily for tens of billions of years.
Look for HIP 107156 in the constellation Cyg. At apparent magnitude 9.8, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, HIP 107156 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 107156 scores 14 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 1 point would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 4 science badges — Star, Distant (over 1,000 light-years), Orange K-type star and Main-sequence 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.
