GL Gl 216B is a trash star. It lies about 29.3 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Lep, shines at apparent magnitude 6.13 and has spectral type K2 V.
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 216B in the constellation Lep. At apparent magnitude 6.13, it is an easy target for binoculars.
Like any astronomical target, GL Gl 216B 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 216B 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 4 science badges — Star, Binary star, Orange K-type star and Main-sequence 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.
