Fish Mouth

Here's more data on Fish Mouth. Interestingly, FM has a K5 flare star distant companion; I didn't know that. At ~15X Sol's luminosity FM's habitable zone could encompass several Earth type planetary environs. Bring UV B sunblock. Too bad A3 stars only stay on the main sequence a few hundred million years. Long enough for us to terraform the nascent planets adding complex life forms and enjoying the sunlight for a few tens of millions of years.

  - There's a thought - how to make a star last longer? - ljk - 6/23/2005 7:51:45 PM
    - Easy, 'just' change the physics constants - see posts below on multiverse - phil - 6/24/2005 2:28:18 AM
