HIP 23894 is a rare star. It lies about 3,076.9 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Aur, shines at apparent magnitude 10.05 and has spectral type G8II-III.
Its spectrum reads G8II-III — a G-type star: the very same spectral class as our own Sun.
Look for HIP 23894 in the constellation Aur. At apparent magnitude 10.05, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, HIP 23894 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.
HIP 23894 scores 37 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the rare tier. Another 13 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 5 science badges — Star, Distant (over 1,000 light-years), Sun-like G-type star, Bright giant and Deep red 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.
