Psi
Its story
Psi Ursae Majoris is an orange K-type giant burning some 144 light-years away, marking one of the strides of the ancient «leap of the gazelle» asterism that Arab astronomers traced across the legs of the Great Bear. Its calm, golden light travels from a star that has long since exhausted core hydrogen and swollen its envelope far beyond the Sun's size.
