Kochab
Orange giant near Polaris in Ursa Minor, once a pole star itself. Together with Pherkad it guards the Little Dipper's bowl. Look for it while tracing Ursa Minor on a dark night.
Gaia has no usable parallax for this star (common for bright multiples). Distance uses the Hipparcos parallax instead.
