HR 1571 is an uncommon star. It lies about 481.8 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Ori, shines at apparent magnitude 5.33 and has spectral type K1III.
Its spectrum reads K1III — a K-type star. Orange K dwarfs are the marathon runners of the galaxy, burning steadily for tens of billions of years.
Look for HR 1571 in the constellation Ori. At apparent magnitude 5.33, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, HR 1571 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 1571 scores 26 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 8 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 5 science badges — Star, Naked-eye visible, In Orion's hunting ground, Orange K-type star and Giant 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.
