HIP 59233 is a trash star. It lies about 259.1 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Com, shines at apparent magnitude 9.48 and has spectral type G2V.
Its spectrum reads G2V — a G-type star: the very same spectral class as our own Sun.
Look for HIP 59233 in the constellation Com. At apparent magnitude 9.48, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, HIP 59233 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 59233 scores 13 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 2 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Star, Sun-like G-type star and Main-sequence 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.
