Its story
Another solar sister, this time in Sagittarius, just 57 light-years away. Her light set off around 1968, when Apollo 8 was rounding the Moon and humanity first saw itself as a blue dot through an astronaut's lens. Nearby G stars are favourite study targets: the more they resemble our star, the more we wonder what might orbit around them.
