Tureis is a rare variable star. It lies about 63.5 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Pup, shines at apparent magnitude 2.83 and has spectral type F2mF5IIp.
Its spectrum reads F2mF5IIp — an F-type star — a little hotter, whiter and shorter-lived than the Sun.
Look for Tureis in the constellation Pup. At apparent magnitude 2.83, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, Tureis 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.
Tureis scores 43 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the rare tier. Another 7 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 7 science badges — Variable star, Naked-eye visible, Has a proper name, Yellow-white F-type star, Bright giant, Gently variable and A named variable 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.
