New research provides a closer look at a nearby star thought to resemble our young Sun. The work allows scientists to better understand what our Sun may have been like when it was young, and how it may have shaped the atmosphere of our planet and the development of life on Earth.

Nearby star resembles ours in its youth

Shortly after it formed, the moon was covered in a global ocean of molten rock (magma). As the magma ocean cooled and solidified, dense minerals sank to form the mantle layer, while less-dense minerals floated to form the surface crust. Later intense bombardment by massive asteroids and comets punched through the crust, blasting out pieces of mantle and scattering them across the lunar surface.

MERRITT ISLAND, F.L. (WCBD) - A team of airmen from the Joint Base Charleston (JBC) 317th Airlift Squadron recently delivered a NASA spacecraft to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The spacecraft will be the first to explore the Trojan asteroids, which are "remnants of our early solar system, now trapped in stable orbits associated with the giant planet Jupiter." It is set to launch in October.
