How to see it
Like any astronomical target, (2009 HJ36) 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. Because it moves against the background stars, the live position panel on this page tracks where it is right now. The visibility panel above works out tonight's viewing window for your saved location.
Why (2009 HJ36) is a trash neo
(2009 HJ36) scores 5 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 10 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 2 science badges — Near-Earth object and Catalogue designation only — 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.
