GL GJ 3708A is a common star. It lies about 41.1 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Crv and shines at apparent magnitude 11.67.
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 3708A in the constellation Crv. At apparent magnitude 11.67, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, GL GJ 3708A 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 3708A scores 17 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the common tier. Another 5 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Star, Binary 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.
