HD 23006 is a trash star. It lies about 1,128.6 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Per, shines at apparent magnitude 9.37 and has spectral type A.
Its spectrum reads A — an A-type star: white-hot, typically about twice the Sun's mass, and the class most of the sky's famous bright stars belong to.
Look for HD 23006 in the constellation Per. At apparent magnitude 9.37, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, HD 23006 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.
HD 23006 scores 14 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 1 point would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Star, Distant (over 1,000 light-years) and White A-type 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.
