HIP 113941 is a common star. It lies about 202.1 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Cas, shines at apparent magnitude 11.14 and has spectral type M0.
Its spectrum reads M0 — 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 HIP 113941 in the constellation Cas. At apparent magnitude 11.14, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, HIP 113941 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 113941 scores 18 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the common tier. Another 4 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 4 science badges — Star, Never sets (northern circumpolar), Cool red M-type star and Red dwarf — 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.
