GL GJ 3849 is a common star. It lies about 34.3 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Boo, shines at apparent magnitude 19.74 and has spectral type dM9.
Its spectrum reads dM9 — 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 3849 in the constellation Boo. At apparent magnitude 19.74, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.
Like any astronomical target, GL GJ 3849 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 3849 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.
