30Eta Leo is an epic star. It lies about 1,269.1 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Leo, shines at apparent magnitude 3.48 and has spectral type A0Ib.
Its spectrum reads A0Ib — an A-type star: white-hot, typically about twice the Sun's mass, and the class most of the sky's famous bright stars belong to.
Look for 30Eta Leo in the constellation Leo. At apparent magnitude 3.48, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, 30Eta Leo 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.
30Eta Leo scores 58 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 20 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 8 science badges — Star, Distant (over 1,000 light-years), Naked-eye visible, On the zodiac, White A-type star, Supergiant, Blue-white star 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.
