Its story
11 Ursae Minoris is an orange K-type giant 398 light-years away in the Little Bear, the small constellation that pivots through the night around the pole star. Its light, with nearly four centuries of travel behind it, arrives warm and steady. It is not one of those that guide travellers, yet it discreetly accompanies the most useful asterism in the history of navigation.
