GL Gl 667C is a rare star. It lies about 22.7 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Sco, shines at apparent magnitude 10.24 and has spectral type M2.5.
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 667C in the constellation Sco. At apparent magnitude 10.24, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, GL Gl 667C 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 667C scores 43 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the rare tier. Another 7 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 7 science badges — Star, Nearby (<25 ly), Binary star, On the zodiac, Cool red M-type star, Deep red star and Red dwarf — 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.
