GL GJ 3223 is an uncommon star. It lies about 52.6 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Eri, shines at apparent magnitude 16.12 and has spectral type DZ9.
Its spectrum reads DZ9 — a white dwarf — the exposed, Earth-sized cinder of a dead star, with nothing left to burn.
Look for GL GJ 3223 in the constellation Eri. At apparent magnitude 16.12, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.
Like any astronomical target, GL GJ 3223 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.
GL GJ 3223 scores 31 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 3 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Star, White dwarf (a burnt-out core) and Intrinsically feeble (Mv > +12) — 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.
