2 Questions for Astronomers
In article ,
Roger Stokes wrote: "BRAINIAC" wrote in message ... A) Our sun is just an avergage star. There are 71 stars within 20 light years of the solar system, of which only 4 (Alpha Centauri A, Sirius, Procyon, and Altair) are brighter than the sun. Most are M dwarfs. Here's the list (from the hipparcos catalog) Actually there are 106 stars within 20 light years. Also, this is a hot area of research, and it is anticipated many more will be found. This information comes from my favorite www site, The Atlas of The Universe by Richard Powell. Richard does a very good job updating the nearest stars list, I think it is one of his interests.
