Intan is a common star. It lies about 150.7 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation For, shines at apparent magnitude 9.92 and has spectral type K3/K4IV.
Its spectrum reads K3/K4IV — a K-type star. Orange K dwarfs are the marathon runners of the galaxy, burning steadily for tens of billions of years.
Look for Intan in the constellation For. At apparent magnitude 9.92, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, Intan 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.
Intan scores 19 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the common tier. Another 3 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 4 science badges — Star, Has a proper name, Orange K-type star and Subgiant (leaving the main sequence) — 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.
