Trivia

Could we get there?

  • Verdict. Impossible with our current technology — and the next millennium of it.

Getting there

  • Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 19.7 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
  • Fastest probe ever. ≈ 1.8 million years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
  • At 10% light speed. ≈ 11.2 thousand years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
  • Distance. 1121 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

  • Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 905.

Saying hello

  • Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 2242 years round-trip.

How we found it

  • Named. Notable enough to have earned a proper name, not just a catalogue number.

About Nganurganity

Nganurganity is a common variable star. It lies about 1,120.8 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation CMa, shines at apparent magnitude 3.49 and has spectral type K4III.

Notable enough to have earned a proper name, not just a catalogue number.

How to see it

Look for Nganurganity in the constellation CMa. At apparent magnitude 3.49, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.

Like any astronomical target, Nganurganity 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 Nganurganity is a common variable star

Nganurganity scores 23 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the common tier. Another 1 point would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 3 science badges — Variable star, Distant (>1000 ly) and Has a proper name — 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.
