Its story

Chi Draconis lies just 26.3 light-years from the Sun, placing it among the genuinely nearby stars of the catalogue. A type-F star slightly hotter than our own, it marks one of the coils in the body of the Dragon that winds between the two Bears. Its closeness made it a recurring target of early parallax measurements and searches for stellar companions.
