Trivia

Could we get there?

  • Verdict. Hopelessly far for any craft humanity can build today.

Getting there

  • Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 1.3 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
  • Fastest probe ever. ≈ 118.4 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
  • At 10% light speed. ≈ 759 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
  • Distance. 75.9 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

  • Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1950.

Saying hello

  • Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 152 years round-trip.

How we found it

  • Named. Notable enough to have earned a proper name, not just a catalogue number.

Like any astronomical target, Kaewkosin 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.

Why Kaewkosin is a trash star

Kaewkosin scores 11 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 4 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 2 science badges — Star and Has a proper name — 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.
