More about Ross 594
Nearby star Ross 594 is a main sequence star that fuses hydrogen atoms into helium. It is approximately 20 % of the size of Sun and temperature on its surface is around 3278 K (3005 °C), which is about 57 % 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. Ross 594 can be found in northern celestial hemisphere, however it is too dim to be seen with the naked eye or even a small telescope.
