Its story

19 Draconis is a relatively close neighbour: at 50 light-years, its light reaches us in barely two human generations. It is a yellow-white F-type dwarf with a surface near 6,170 kelvin, slightly hotter and brighter than the Sun, set in a quiet stretch of Draco far from the constellation's main spine. Named by Flamsteed in 1690, it now sits in modern catalogues of nearby stars worth tracking.
