Its story

**1. Who it is:**

Yildun is a medium-sized red dwarf star, designated as UMi 23Del. It is located in the Ursa Major constellation. It is known as a ‘double star’ due to its apparent arrangement with its companion star, UMi 23Delc. It is currently classified as a visual magnitude of 4.321.

**2. Why it is Recognizable in the Sky:**

The recognizable nature of Yildun arises from its position within the Ursa Major constellation. Being a visual magnitude of 4.321, it falls firmly within the region where it’s most visually prominent to observers of the night sky, making it a relatively bright star to notice in the cosmos. It appears as a relatively steady, silvery-white light in a relatively open field on the southern hemisphere. Its relatively close proximity to its companion star means it is a very bright part of the Ursa Major field.
