HR 9085 is a rare star. It lies about 3,076.9 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Cas, shines at apparent magnitude 5.58 and has spectral type F0III.
Its spectrum reads F0III — an F-type star — a little hotter, whiter and shorter-lived than the Sun.
Look for HR 9085 in the constellation Cas. At apparent magnitude 5.58, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, HR 9085 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.
HR 9085 scores 40 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the rare tier. Another 10 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 7 science badges — Star, Distant (over 1,000 light-years), Naked-eye visible, Never sets (northern circumpolar), Yellow-white F-type star, Giant star and Intrinsically luminous (Mv < −2) — 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.
