Perkil8r Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I am always amazed at how we can work these things out! http://io9.com/weve-finally-found-our-suns-long-lost-sister-1573952952 For the first time ever, astronomers have identified a star that emerged from the same cloud of dust and gas as our own. Intriguingly, there's a "small, but not zero" chance that our sister sun hosts planets hospitable to life. Come on then, there's a challenge..... who will be the first to spot it, and who will be the first to image it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stash Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Might ,could etc sounds like the weather forecast and its a very long time since the "sisters" were last together - but one should never say never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanthic Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I read that article on a different site, then read another that said that forming planets can alter the metal content of a star... Seems a little contradictory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
