HR 4841 is a rare star. It lies about 2,051.3 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Mus, shines at apparent magnitude 6.16 and has spectral type F6Ia.
Its spectrum reads F6Ia — an F-type star — a little hotter, whiter and shorter-lived than the Sun.
Look for HR 4841 in the constellation Mus. At apparent magnitude 6.16, it is an easy target for binoculars.
Like any astronomical target, HR 4841 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.
HR 4841 scores 40 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the rare tier. Another 10 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 5 science badges — Star, Distant (over 1,000 light-years), Yellow-white F-type star, Supergiant and Intrinsically luminous (Mv < −2) — 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.
