A very simple topic title because everybody knows that our Sun is a Star ( lectured to 8 year olds all over the world ... )
But which scientist/Astronomer actually found out this 'simple' fact ? ( 17th Century CHristiaan HUYGENS studied the Sun, 19th Century Angelo SECHI even studied Sunspots ) I do know that 20th Century Fred HOYLE did a lot of calculations on the destiny of Stars but we might go back way earlier to know who found out that our Sun is a Star |

I've often wondered what constellation we might be in as viewed from say, Sirius or Alpha Centuri.

A fantastic bit of software, especially with all the Add ons (be prepared to loose many hours!). See the night sky from 100,000 stars! James -------------------- |
