Its story
32 Ursae Majoris stands within the Greater Bear, in the very stretch of sky most mapped throughout history thanks to the Big Dipper. It is a white A-type star about 260 light-years away, younger and hotter than the Sun. Its light set out around 1766, when William Herschel was still building his first telescopes and had not yet discovered Uranus.
