Bet Hyi is a rare star. It lies about 24.3 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Hyi, shines at apparent magnitude 2.82 and has spectral type G2IV.
Its spectrum reads G2IV — a G-type star: the very same spectral class as our own Sun.
Look for Bet Hyi in the constellation Hyi. At apparent magnitude 2.82, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, Bet Hyi 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.
Bet Hyi scores 36 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the rare tier. Another 14 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 5 science badges — Star, Nearby (<25 ly), Naked-eye visible, Sun-like G-type star and Subgiant (leaving the main sequence) — 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.
