October 29, 2008
Boston (ChattahBox) - Researchers have announced that a nearby solar system has been found which resembles ours very closely, and could have planets just like Earth with life.
NASA astronomers reported thsi week that they have found a star which has an asteroid belt as well as the set-up of a solar system that is just like our own.
The solar system is known as Epsilon Eridani, and is a younger twin of our solar system.
It is only 850 millioin years old, one fifth of the age of the Earth’s sun.
It is 10 light-years away from us, and is being looked at as almost like a time machine just because it is so similar.
The report was released in the January 10th issue of The Astrophysical Journal.
