65 Ursae Majoris, abbreviated as 65 UMa, is a star system in the constellation of Ursa Major. With a combined apparent magnitude of about 6.5,[2] it is at the limit of human eyesight and is just barely visible to the naked eye in ideal conditions. It is about 760 light years away from Earth.
65 Ursae Majoris is a sextuple star system. It contains six stars in a hierarchical orbit where each star orbits its inner stars. Such systems are uncommon, with only a few sextuple stars known.[5] Higher-multiplicity star systems are uncommon because they are less stable than their simpler counterparts, and often decay into smaller systems.
