GL GJ 3805 is an uncommon star. It lies about 77.7 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation UMa, shines at apparent magnitude 13.3 and has spectral type DA3.
Its spectrum reads DA3 — a white dwarf — the exposed, Earth-sized cinder of a dead star, with nothing left to burn.
Look for GL GJ 3805 in the constellation UMa. At apparent magnitude 13.3, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.
Like any astronomical target, GL GJ 3805 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 3805 scores 29 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 5 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Star, Never sets (northern circumpolar) and White dwarf (a burnt-out core) — 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.
