Astronomers have recently discovered a star which contains some of the same unusual elements and is of about the same age as our home star. It is visible using binoculars or a small telescope in the constellation of Hercules not far from the bright star Vega. It is about 110 light-years from Earth. It is 15% more massive than the Sun, with a slightly hotter surface temperature. Your can read more about the star and its discovery HERE. More HERE and HERE.
