HD 129357
G-type star in the constellation Boötes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HD 129357 is a G-type main-sequence star in the constellation Boötes that is located about 154 light years from the Sun. The measured properties of this star are very similar to those of the Sun, making it a candidate solar twin. However, it has a lower abundance of lithium than the Sun and appears to be over 3 billion years older, so it may instead be a solar analog.[8][6]
