GL GJ 1054A is an uncommon star. It lies about 62.6 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation For, shines at apparent magnitude 10.21 and has spectral type Se.
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 1054A in the constellation For. At apparent magnitude 10.21, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, GL GJ 1054A 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 1054A scores 29 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 5 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Star, Binary star and S-type star (zirconium giant) — 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.
