Its spectrum reads G8II — a G-type star: the very same spectral class as our own Sun.
Look for HR 3604 in the constellation Car. At apparent magnitude 5.8, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, HR 3604 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 3604 scores 47 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the rare tier. Another 3 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 6 science badges — Star, Distant (over 1,000 light-years), Naked-eye visible, Sun-like G-type star, Bright giant and Intrinsically luminous (Mv < −2) — 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.
