HR 5058 is a trash star. It lies about 203.3 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Cen, shines at apparent magnitude 5.11 and has spectral type Kp....
Its spectrum reads Kp... — a K-type star. Orange K dwarfs are the marathon runners of the galaxy, burning steadily for tens of billions of years.
Look for HR 5058 in the constellation Cen. At apparent magnitude 5.11, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, HR 5058 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 5058 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, Naked-eye visible and Orange K-type 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.
