GL GJ 3060A is a common variable star. It lies about 38.6 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Psc and shines at apparent magnitude 12.01.
It is a binary: two stars orbiting a shared centre of mass. More than half of all the 'stars' you can see are actually multiple systems.
Look for GL GJ 3060A in the constellation Psc. At apparent magnitude 12.01, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.
Like any astronomical target, GL GJ 3060A 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.
GL GJ 3060A scores 21 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the common tier. Another 1 point would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 5 science badges — Variable star, Binary star, On the zodiac, Gently variable and A named variable 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.
