19Pi CMa is a common star. It lies about 96.5 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation CMa, shines at apparent magnitude 4.66 and has spectral type F2IV/V.
Its spectrum reads F2IV/V — an F-type star — a little hotter, whiter and shorter-lived than the Sun.
Look for 19Pi CMa in the constellation CMa. At apparent magnitude 4.66, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, 19Pi CMa 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.
19Pi CMa scores 19 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the common tier. Another 3 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 4 science badges — Star, Naked-eye visible, Yellow-white F-type star and Subgiant (leaving the main sequence) — 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.
