Summary

Description
English: This image shows solar twin HIP 102152, a star located 250 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Capricornus (The Sea Goat).

HIP 102152 is more like the Sun than any other solar twin — apart from the fact that it is nearly four billion years older, giving us an unprecedented chance to study how the Sun will look when it ages. It is the oldest solar twin identified to date, and was studied by an international team using ESO’s Very Large Telescope, led by astronomers in Brazil.

The different colours of the star are caused by the star moving slightly between the two exposures, many years apart.
Русский: На снимке – двойник Солнца HIP 102152, звезда, находящаяся в 250 световых годах от Земли в созвездии Козерога.

HIP 102152 имеет больше общего с Солнцем, чем любой другой из «солнечных двойников», если не считать того, что Солнце моложе него почти на четыре миллиарда лет. Обнаружение этого почти идентичного Солнцу объекта дает нам беспрецедентный шанс увидеть, как будет выглядеть наше светило, когда «состарится». Это самый старый из всех известных нам сегодня «близнецов» Солнца. Его исследовала с Очень Большим Телескопом ESO международная группа ученых во главе с астрономами из Бразилии.

Разноцветные лучи – эффект небольшого смещения звезды в промежутке между двумя экспозициями, которые разделяет много лет.
