GL GJ 1136A is an uncommon star. It lies about 52.8 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Ant, shines at apparent magnitude 10.19 and has spectral type K7V.
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 GJ 1136A in the constellation Ant. At apparent magnitude 10.19, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, GL GJ 1136A 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 GJ 1136A scores 22 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 12 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 5 science badges — Star, Binary star, Orange K-type 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.
