GL Gl 412B is an epic star. It lies about 15.8 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation UMa, shines at apparent magnitude 14.4 and has spectral type M6 e.
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 412B in the constellation UMa. At apparent magnitude 14.4, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.
Like any astronomical target, GL Gl 412B 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 412B scores 50 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 28 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 8 science badges — Star, Nearby (<25 ly), Binary star, Never sets (northern circumpolar), Cool red M-type star, Deep red star, Red dwarf 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.
