GL Gl 113A is an uncommon variable star. It lies about 80.4 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Ari, shines at apparent magnitude 7.56 and has spectral type K1V.
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 Gl 113A in the constellation Ari. At apparent magnitude 7.56, it is an easy target for binoculars.
Like any astronomical target, GL Gl 113A 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 Gl 113A scores 24 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 10 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 7 science badges — Variable star, Binary star, On the zodiac, Orange K-type star, Main-sequence star, Barely variable (under 0.05 mag) 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.
