Tau Cygni
Adam — (archived)

Hi All

Was trolling around the Internet Stellar Database...

http://www.stellar-database.com/

...and found Tau Cygni at 68.2 light years away. Pretty cool system - trinary, with one Sol-like star and a variable star [probably an evolved star slowly going red-giant] plus a cold out-lier dwarf.

...I can imagine a scenario in which ETIs evolved on a planet of the F-class star, then migrated to the other two when it started heading off the Main Sequence.
