GL Gl 528A is a trash star. It lies about 43.7 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Boo, shines at apparent magnitude 7.05 and has spectral type K2.
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 Gl 528A in the constellation Boo. At apparent magnitude 7.05, it is an easy target for binoculars.
Like any astronomical target, GL Gl 528A 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 Gl 528A scores 12 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 3 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Star, Binary star 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.
