HR 207 is a rare star. It lies about 3,048.2 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Cas, shines at apparent magnitude 6.41 and has spectral type G0Ib.
Its spectrum reads G0Ib — a G-type star: the very same spectral class as our own Sun.
Look for HR 207 in the constellation Cas. At apparent magnitude 6.41, it is an easy target for binoculars.
Like any astronomical target, HR 207 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 207 scores 49 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the rare tier. Another 1 point would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 6 science badges — Star, Distant (over 1,000 light-years), Never sets (northern circumpolar), Sun-like G-type star, Supergiant 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.
