Sig-1
Its story
σ¹ Ursae Majoris, outside the famous Plough, shines quietly 521 light-years away in the Great Bear. It is an orange K5 III giant, swollen to about 46 solar radii and radiating 560 times the Sun's light at just 3,940 K. Its old, tepid glow seems to hover in suspense, like a lantern lit in the galaxy's early dawn.
