... vary in size, mass, and brightness, but they all convert hydrogen into helium, also known as nuclear fusion. While our sun will spend 10 billion on its main sequence, a star ten times as massive will stick around for only 20 million years. Red Dwarf -- most common stars in the universe. These star ...

Nearest star`s wobbles could reveal Earth`s twin
... Even so, the researchers think they will need several years of data to smooth out random noise in their observations to be able to spot the faint signal of another Earth. That's because a terrestrial planet would cause Alpha Centauri B to wobble at speeds of only about 10 centimetres per second. Lau ...
