Sadachbia is a rare star. It lies about 163.7 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Aqr, shines at apparent magnitude 3.86 and has spectral type A0V.
Its spectrum reads A0V — 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 Sadachbia in the constellation Aqr. At apparent magnitude 3.86, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, Sadachbia 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.
Sadachbia scores 34 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the rare tier. Another 16 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 7 science badges — Star, Naked-eye visible, Has a proper name, On the zodiac, White A-type star, Main-sequence star and Blue-white 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.
