GL GJ 3293 is a trash star. It lies about 59.3 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Eri, shines at apparent magnitude 12 and has spectral type M2.5.
Its spectrum reads M2.5 — 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 GL GJ 3293 in the constellation Eri. At apparent magnitude 12, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, GL GJ 3293 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 3293 scores 14 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 1 point would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Star, 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.
