HIP 11190 is a trash star. It lies about 712.1 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Cas, shines at apparent magnitude 8.71 and has spectral type K0V.
Its spectrum reads K0V — a K-type star. Orange K dwarfs are the marathon runners of the galaxy, burning steadily for tens of billions of years.
Look for HIP 11190 in the constellation Cas. At apparent magnitude 8.71, it is an easy target for binoculars.
Like any astronomical target, HIP 11190 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 11190 scores 12 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 3 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 4 science badges — Star, Never sets (northern circumpolar), Orange K-type star and Main-sequence 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.
