HIP 39337 is a trash star. It sits in the constellation Mon, shines at apparent magnitude 9.14 and has spectral type NV....
Its spectrum reads NV... — a carbon star, wrapped in so much soot that its light is filtered to a deep ruby red.
Look for HIP 39337 in the constellation Mon. At apparent magnitude 9.14, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, HIP 39337 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.
HIP 39337 scores 13 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 2 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Star, Main-sequence star and Deep red 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.
