GL Gl 352A is an uncommon star. It lies about 32.7 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Hya, shines at apparent magnitude 10.06 and has spectral type M2.
It is a binary: two stars orbiting a shared centre of mass. More than half of all the 'stars' you can see are actually multiple systems.
Look for GL Gl 352A in the constellation Hya. At apparent magnitude 10.06, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, GL Gl 352A 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.
GL Gl 352A scores 28 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 6 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 5 science badges — Star, Binary star, Cool red M-type star, Deep red star and Red dwarf — 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.
