Most likely host star for advanced life named

[FLO]

Astronomers searching for advanced life beyond Earth should focus their attention around beta CVn, a binary star roughly 26 light-years away that resembles our own Sun.

The recommendation comes from a shortlist of likely life-bearing systems compiled by Margaret Turnbull, at the Carnegie Institution of Washington, and presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in St Louis, Missouri, US.

She adds that researchers looking for any kind of life - including basic forms that could not send communications to Earth - should take a particularly close look around another star epsilon Indi A.

Both the stars share similar traits, Turnbull says: "They're mature, very stable, calm stars. They're stars that are acting like they're taking care of someone."

It has occurred to me that if the two stars mentioned above were listed in 'StarryNight', then by selecting 'Go There' we can see what view life would have looking back towards our Sun....

But, my StarryNight Pro V4.5 cannot 'Find' them?

Can anyone do this using their software and post an image ... just for fun?
