HIP 57586 is an uncommon star. It lies about 1,681.2 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation UMa, shines at apparent magnitude 9.18 and has spectral type G8III.
Its spectrum reads G8III — a G-type star: the very same spectral class as our own Sun.
Look for HIP 57586 in the constellation UMa. At apparent magnitude 9.18, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, HIP 57586 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 57586 scores 27 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 7 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 5 science badges — Star, Distant (over 1,000 light-years), Never sets (northern circumpolar), Sun-like G-type star and Giant 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.
