Gam1Vol is a trash star. It lies about 161.9 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Vol, shines at apparent magnitude 5.68 and has spectral type F2.
Its spectrum reads F2 — an F-type star — a little hotter, whiter and shorter-lived than the Sun.
Look for Gam1Vol in the constellation Vol. At apparent magnitude 5.68, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, Gam1Vol 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.
Gam1Vol scores 14 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 1 point would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Star, Naked-eye visible 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.
