HIP 54084 is a common star. It lies about 1,469.2 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation UMa, shines at apparent magnitude 10.25 and has spectral type G0.
Its spectrum reads G0 — a G-type star: the very same spectral class as our own Sun.
Look for HIP 54084 in the constellation UMa. At apparent magnitude 10.25, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, HIP 54084 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.
HIP 54084 scores 21 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the common tier. Another 1 point would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 4 science badges — Star, Distant (over 1,000 light-years), Never sets (northern circumpolar) and Sun-like G-type 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.
