GL GJ 9209B is a rare star. It lies about 74.1 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Pic, shines at apparent magnitude 14.09 and has spectral type DB4.
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 GJ 9209B in the constellation Pic. At apparent magnitude 14.09, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.
Like any astronomical target, GL GJ 9209B 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 9209B scores 42 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the rare tier. Another 8 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 5 science badges — Star, Binary star, White dwarf (a burnt-out core), Blue-white star 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.
