HIP 65388 is a trash star. It lies about 505.7 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation CVn, shines at apparent magnitude 12.45 and has spectral type B2.
Its spectrum reads B2 — a blue-white B-type star, with a surface tens of thousands of degrees hot and a life measured in tens of millions of years.
Look for HIP 65388 in the constellation CVn. At apparent magnitude 12.45, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.
Like any astronomical target, HIP 65388 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 65388 scores 14 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 1 point would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Star, Hot blue B-type star and Blue-white 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.
