Nu-1
Its story
Nu-1 Draconis pairs with Nu-2 in one of the northern sky's most celebrated visual doubles, known as Kuma —two near-twin stars separated by barely a minute of arc, splittable in the smallest binoculars. At 99 light-years, it is a white A-type star, and together with its partner it marks one of the corners of the rectangle that forms the head of the celestial Dragon.
