GSC 03905-01870 is a binary star system located in the Draco constellation. It was discovered by Salvador Barquin, who classified the star as an eclipsing binary variable of W Ursae Majoris type in March 2018.[1][3] Its apparent magnitude varies from 14.43 to 14.77 over an orbital period of 10.3 hours.[1] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 0.4670 milliarc seconds as measured by the Gaia astrometric observatory,[2] this system is 7,000 light-years (2,140 parsecs) from Earth.
