GL Gl 200B is an uncommon star. It lies about 55 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Ori, shines at apparent magnitude 11.7 and has spectral type M2.
It is a binary: two stars orbiting a shared centre of mass. More than half of all the 'stars' you can see are actually multiple systems.
Look for GL Gl 200B in the constellation Ori. At apparent magnitude 11.7, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, GL Gl 200B 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 Gl 200B scores 26 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 8 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 5 science badges — Star, Binary star, In Orion's hunting ground, 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.
