Image description:
Eta Cassiopeiae A is very similar to our
Sun, just a little bit more luminous. In this picture we see the
sunset above ocean water.
Eta Cassiopeiae B can be seen at upper
right part of the picture, as the star moves away from it's companion
to the distant 107 AU, when it will become just one of those bright
stars in the night sky. Being almost sunlike star, with a planet
in habitable zone, a chance for life should be 90%. |
