New evidence for Solar-like planetary system around nearby star
Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Councils news release
December 1, 2003

Astronomers at the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Councils UK
Astronomy Technology Centre (ATC) at the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh
have
produced compelling new evidence that Vega, one of the brightest stars in
the sky, has a planetary system around it which is more like our own
Solar
System than any other so far discovered.


I always thought Contact was a documentary..... :-)

indeed. the first thing i thought about after reading the post was: Contact,
the movie. Sagan knew very well that Vega was very likely to have earth like
planets aroung its sun...this is intriguing...thx for posting Ron!
