HD 108375 is an uncommon star. It lies about 1,169 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Cru, shines at apparent magnitude 9.25 and has spectral type F5V.
Its spectrum reads F5V — an F-type star — a little hotter, whiter and shorter-lived than the Sun.
Look for HD 108375 in the constellation Cru. At apparent magnitude 9.25, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, HD 108375 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.
HD 108375 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, Distant (over 1,000 light-years), Under the Southern Cross, Yellow-white F-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.
