GL GJ 3608A is a trash star. It lies about 75.9 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Hya, shines at apparent magnitude 10.68 and has spectral type K7 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 GJ 3608A in the constellation Hya. At apparent magnitude 10.68, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, GL GJ 3608A 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 3608A 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.
