Nearby starIts story
61 Ursae Majoris is among the nearest stars in this set: barely 31 light-years away, inside the familiar pattern of the Great Bear. It is a yellow G-class dwarf, often regarded as a solar analogue —a neighbouring version of our own daylight star. The light reaching us tonight left around 1995, in the very first years of the public web.
