Trivia
Hard to believe
- True brightness. It pours out about 724.4 thousand times as much light as the Sun. It only looks ordinary because it is so far away.
Find it in the sky
- How to spot it. At magnitude 10.2 you'll want a small backyard telescope, over in Andromeda.
- Northern sky. It rides the northern half of the sky — an easier target the further north you are.
- Best time of year. It stands highest in the middle of the night around September — that's when to go looking.
Its true colour
- Its true colour. Measured through blue and visual filters it comes out deep orange-red (B−V 1.5) — one of the coolest surfaces a star can have while still fusing.
By the numbers
- Surface temperature. Its colour puts the surface at roughly 3730 K, against the Sun's 5778 K.
What's in a name
- Its catalogue. A Gliese number marks it as part of the census of the Sun's own neighbourhood — the catalogue of stars near enough to be our neighbours.

Why GL GJ 4327 is a trash star
GL GJ 4327 scores 11 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 4 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 2 science badges — Star and Deep red 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.
