One of our Suns long-lost sister stars has finally been found, and shes pretty close by

Astronomers at the University of Texas at Austin have done something rather remarkable: They've identified a nearby star that was birthed from the same cluster as our own Sun. If that wasn't cool enough, the lead author also says that -- because the Sun and this sibling star were once relatively close and may have bumped uglies -- there is a "small, but not zero" chance that planets orbiting this star could host extraterrestrial life.
