Strange New Worlds
VB 10
Van Biesbroeck's Star
First exoplanet found by astrometric method
You folks have probably already seen this, but I just found it over at Spaceflight Now
(And then a more detailed Wikipedia page)
I found this fascinating and exciting, in so many ways.
The proportion and scale of the system.
A “cold” Jupiter in a “quiet”* orbit. (*My term, and not very scientific, intended to mean like our system)
A tiny Sun, whose temperate zone must be very narrow indeed, but how narrow?
What type of worlds might inhabit that zone?
