Trivia

What it actually is

  • Spectral class. Its spectrum reads sdF2: — an F-type star — a little hotter, whiter and shorter-lived than the Sun.
  • Where it is in life. It is a subdwarf: an old, metal-poor star from the galaxy's early days, a little smaller and fainter than a main-sequence star of the same colour.

Sense of scale

  • In perspective. Far away by human standards, yet still a local address inside the Milky Way's spiral arms.

Find it in the sky

  • How to spot it. At magnitude 10.3 you'll want a small backyard telescope, over in Lynx.
  • Northern sky. It rides the northern half of the sky — an easier target the further north you are.
  • Best time of year. It stands highest in the middle of the night around January — that's when to go looking.

Could we get there?

  • Verdict. Hopelessly far for any craft humanity can build today.

Getting there

  • Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 12.9 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).

Its spectrum reads sdF2: — an F-type star — a little hotter, whiter and shorter-lived than the Sun.

How to see it

Look for HIP 32567 in the constellation Lyn. At apparent magnitude 10.32, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.

Like any astronomical target, HIP 32567 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.

Why HIP 32567 is a trash star

HIP 32567 scores 6 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 9 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 2 science badges — Star and Yellow-white F-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.
