GL GJ 3740 is a trash star. It lies about 57.2 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Mus, shines at apparent magnitude 13.5 and has spectral type k-m.
Its spectrum reads k-m — a K-type star. Orange K dwarfs are the marathon runners of the galaxy, burning steadily for tens of billions of years.
Look for GL GJ 3740 in the constellation Mus. At apparent magnitude 13.5, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.
Like any astronomical target, GL GJ 3740 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 3740 scores 9 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 6 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 2 science badges — Star 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.
