93 Cet is an uncommon star. It lies about 550 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Cet, shines at apparent magnitude 5.62 and has spectral type B7V.
Its spectrum reads B7V — 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 93 Cet in the constellation Cet. At apparent magnitude 5.62, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, 93 Cet 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.
93 Cet 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 5 science badges — Star, Naked-eye visible, Hot blue B-type star, Main-sequence 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.
