Astronomers estimated that in our galaxy the milky way is about 10 billion stars similar to the Sun. However, at the distance of only about 200 light-years specialists found an almost perfect twin of the Sun. Found the star has the same mass, temperature and chemical composition, and the Sun.

A new star was named HP 56948. According to Jorge Melendez, astronomer from the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil, new found the star is the most similar to the Sun is the object of all that were previously analyzed in our galaxy.

Brazilian scientists have combined data about HP 56948, with several telescopes, in particular, with telescope VLT (Very Large Telescope), the Keck telescope in Hawaii and other capacity in which experts was characteristic of the star. It is obvious that the experts have tried to answer a simple and logical question: is there around the twin of the Sun is the same planetary system like ours?

As you know, most star systems that are open today, unlike ours. The most known systems is surrounded by the so-called hot Jupiter is a large gaseous planets, located very close to their stars. Most likely, even to systems where there are several hot Jupiter-there are other planets, including with solid earth surface, but they now know very little.

Around HP 56948 researchers have already found one hot Jupiter, but here this planet, most likely, is not the only one. Here large planet is about the same distance from the star, like mercury from the Sun. Most likely, in a more distant orbit there is a planet with solid surfaces, but they are only beginning to discover.

Speaking about the chemical composition HP 56948 and its star system, the spectral analysis shows that there are many familiar to Earth elements, in particular calcium, magnesium, silicon, and approximately the same proportions as in the Solar system. This means that the technical preconditions for the presence of the double our Land too.

There are between HP 56948 and Sun, and another similarity is the age. According to experts, age HP 56948 is about 4 billion years, against 4.5 billion years the Sun. Therefore, we can assume that earth-planets in the star system now also have the age of 3-4 billion years, and if so, is the evolutionary path there is quite large and with some probability we can assume that the hypothetical hypothetical planet organics.

Brazilian scientists say that now they are trying to find such planets in the system HP 56948, but unsuccessfully. Previously, the SETI project explored the region HP 56948 radio frequency energy and also not found anything that would remind the radio signals of artificial origin. Nevertheless, the experts do not put an end to this system, because of all that has previously been studied, HP 56948 is too similar to us.
