GL GJ 3654 is a common star. It lies about 51 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Hya, shines at apparent magnitude 13.7 and has spectral type M4.
Its spectrum reads M4 — an M-type red star — and M stars are the silent majority: roughly three of every four stars in the galaxy are one.
Look for GL GJ 3654 in the constellation Hya. At apparent magnitude 13.7, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.
Like any astronomical target, GL GJ 3654 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 3654 scores 20 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the common tier. Another 2 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 4 science badges — Star, Cool red M-type 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.
