GL GJ 3831A is an uncommon variable star. It lies about 98.4 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Vir, shines at apparent magnitude 10.39 and has spectral type K4V.
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 GJ 3831A in the constellation Vir. At apparent magnitude 10.39, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, GL GJ 3831A 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 GJ 3831A scores 32 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 2 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 7 science badges — Variable star, Binary star, On the zodiac, Orange K-type star, Main-sequence star, Strongly variable and A named variable 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.
