HD 2225 is an uncommon star. It lies about 1,315.1 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Scl, shines at apparent magnitude 9.94 and has spectral type G.
Its spectrum reads G — a G-type star: the very same spectral class as our own Sun.
Look for HD 2225 in the constellation Scl. At apparent magnitude 9.94, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, HD 2225 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.
HD 2225 scores 25 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 9 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 4 science badges — Star, Distant (over 1,000 light-years), Sun-like G-type star and Deep red 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.
