Przybylski's Star (pronounced [pʂɨˈbɨlskʲi]), or HD 101065, is a rapidly oscillating Ap star at roughly 356 light-years (109 parsecs) from the Sun in the southern constellation of Centaurus. It is an unusual chemically peculiar star with a unique spectrum showing over-abundances of most rare-earth elements, for example, but under-abundances of more common elements such as iron.
