HIP 8083 is a trash star. It lies about 934.5 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Cet, shines at apparent magnitude 11.77 and has spectral type B.
Its spectrum reads B — a blue-white B-type star, with a surface tens of thousands of degrees hot and a life measured in tens of millions of years.
Look for HIP 8083 in the constellation Cet. At apparent magnitude 11.77, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, HIP 8083 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.
HIP 8083 scores 14 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 1 point would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Star, Hot blue B-type star and Blue-white 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.
