19 Psc is an epic variable star. It lies about 898.5 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Psc, shines at apparent magnitude 4.95 and has spectral type C5II.
Its spectrum reads C5II — a carbon star, wrapped in so much soot that its light is filtered to a deep ruby red.
Look for 19 Psc in the constellation Psc. At apparent magnitude 4.95, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, 19 Psc 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.
19 Psc scores 77 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 1 point would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 9 science badges — Variable star, Naked-eye visible, On the zodiac, Carbon star (sooty red), Bright giant, Deep red star, Intrinsically luminous (Mv < −2) and Gently variable — 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.
