Look for HR 1375 in the constellation Tau. At apparent magnitude 6, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, HR 1375 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 1375 scores 40 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the rare tier. Another 10 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 7 science badges — Variable star, On the zodiac, Hot blue B-type star, Subgiant (leaving the main sequence), Barely variable (under 0.05 mag), Fades out of naked-eye view and A named variable 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.
