Sen—A team of researchers has identified for the first time a star
directly related to the Sun, one almost certainly born from the same
cloud of gas and dust.
The find, led by astronomer Ivan Ramirez of The University of Texas,
will help astronomers look for other solar siblings. It could lead to an
understanding of how and where our Sun formed, and how our Solar System
became hospitable for life.
“We want to know where we were born,” Ramirez said. “If we can figure
out in what part of the galaxy the Sun formed, we can constrain
conditions on the early solar system. That could help us understand why
we are here.” Read more.
