Solar System Look-Alike Found

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the evil-twin dept.

SpuriousLogic writes "Astronomers have discovered a planetary system orbiting a distant star which looks much like our own. They found two planets that were close matches for Jupiter and Saturn orbiting a star about half the size of our Sun. Martin Dominik, from St Andrews University in the UK, said the finding suggested systems like our own could be much more common than we thought."

    This solar system looks like ours, but it's only half our size.

    My theory is that we're both evil (like Doctor Evil and Mini-Me).
