GL GJ 3614 is an uncommon star. It lies about 47.3 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Hya, shines at apparent magnitude 16.46 and has spectral type DQP9.
Its spectrum reads DQP9 — a white dwarf — the exposed, Earth-sized cinder of a dead star, with nothing left to burn.
Look for GL GJ 3614 in the constellation Hya. At apparent magnitude 16.46, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.
Like any astronomical target, GL GJ 3614 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 3614 scores 31 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 3 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Star, White dwarf (a burnt-out core) 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.
