You can bet there will be a lot of planet hunters checking out the wobbles in that star. One would have to think that something so similar to our own would have to have a much similar initial environment.

Just think. If there were an Earth-like planet around it, we could be taking pictures of its continents within the next 20 years.

We're thinking along similar lines here, but how do we get there in twenty years when it is 47 light years away?

Must also have a Moon to stabilize the climate.
