More about EK Draconis
Star EK Draconis is a main sequence star that fuses hydrogen atoms into helium. It is is approximately 18 % bigger than the Sun and temperature on its surface is around 5600 K (5327 °C), which is about 97 % of Sun's temperature.
a BY Draconis variable. Stars from this category exhibit periodic variations in their luminosity. The variability is caused by a rotation which shows and hides starspots on the surface. EK Draconis can be found in northern celestial hemisphere, you cannot see it with naked eye, but you can observe this star with basic telescope.
