Our Sun Is A Star ! Options

[Guest_PhilCo126_*]

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
