GL GJ 1241 is an uncommon star. It lies about 58.7 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Vul, shines at apparent magnitude 12.98 and has spectral type DAV5.
Its spectrum reads DAV5 — a white dwarf — the exposed, Earth-sized cinder of a dead star, with nothing left to burn.
Look for GL GJ 1241 in the constellation Vul. At apparent magnitude 12.98, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.
Like any astronomical target, GL GJ 1241 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 1241 scores 27 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 7 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Star, White dwarf (a burnt-out core) and Main-sequence star — 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.
