Solar Twins
Surprise! You have a twin! Or rather, we all do. Scientists have found a new solar system which bears a striking resemblance to our own. The HIP11915 system is around 200 light years from our sun, and its star is similar in mass, size and chemical composition to our own. It even has a gas giant which looks eerily similar to our Jupiter. Scientists are eager to learn more about this system, as it could prove to be key to understanding how our own solar system was formed.

Will this change impact your time on the Internet?
