HR 1010
Scientific overview
HR 1010 is a yellow dwarf in the constellation Reticulum (Reticuli), lying about 39.24 light-years from Earth.
Class G. Yellow stars like the Sun. On the main sequence they steadily fuse hydrogen into helium. Such stars have surface temperatures around 5,200–6,000 K and appear yellow to the eye.

Evolution
A yellow dwarf is a G-type main-sequence star like the Sun. After about ten billion years it will swell into a red giant and finally leave behind a white dwarf.
