HR 1155 is an epic variable star. It lies about 795.5 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Cam, shines at apparent magnitude 4.39 and has spectral type M1III.
Its spectrum reads M1III — an M-type red star — and M stars are the silent majority: roughly three of every four stars in the galaxy are one.
Look for HR 1155 in the constellation Cam. At apparent magnitude 4.39, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, HR 1155 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.
HR 1155 scores 53 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 25 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 9 science badges — Variable star, Naked-eye visible, Never sets (northern circumpolar), Cool red M-type star, Giant star, Deep red star, Intrinsically luminous (Mv < −2) and Gently variable — 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.
