Solar Systems Like Ours May Be CommonBerkeley CA (SPX) Oct 29, 2010 Nearly one in four stars like the Sun could have Earth-size planets, according to a University of California, Berkeley, study of nearby solar-mass stars. UC Berkeley astronomers Andrew Howard and Geoffrey Marcy chose 166 G and K stars within 80 light-years of Earth and observed them with the powerful Keck telescope for five years in order to determine the number, mass and orbital distance of any of the stars' planets. The Sun is the best known of the G stars, which are yellow, while K-type d ... read more |
