Scientific overview

Násti is a yellow dwarf in the constellation Ursa Major (Ursae Majoris), lying about 177.84 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.
