HR 2833 is an epic star. It lies about 1,212.5 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Mon, shines at apparent magnitude 5.98 and has spectral type CIb....
Its spectrum reads CIb... — a carbon star, wrapped in so much soot that its light is filtered to a deep ruby red.
Look for HR 2833 in the constellation Mon. At apparent magnitude 5.98, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, HR 2833 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.
HR 2833 scores 59 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 19 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 5 science badges — Star, Distant (over 1,000 light-years), Naked-eye visible, Carbon star (sooty red) and Supergiant — 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.
