Kurhah is an uncommon star. It lies about 96.5 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Cep, shines at apparent magnitude 4.26 and has spectral type Am.
Its spectrum reads Am — an A-type star: white-hot, typically about twice the Sun's mass, and the class most of the sky's famous bright stars belong to.
Look for Kurhah in the constellation Cep. At apparent magnitude 4.26, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, Kurhah 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.
Kurhah scores 28 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 6 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 5 science badges — Star, Naked-eye visible, Has a proper name, Never sets (northern circumpolar) and White A-type 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.
