Its spectrum reads M0III — 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 Omi Ind in the constellation Ind. At apparent magnitude 5.52, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, Omi Ind 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.
Omi Ind scores 22 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 12 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 4 science badges — Star, Naked-eye visible, Cool red M-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.
