Its name refers to Cetus, a sea monster in Greek mythology, although it is often called 'the whale' today. Cetus is located in the region of the sky that contains other water-related constellations such as Aquarius, Pisces, and Eridanus. [link to en.wikipedia.org] Tau Ceti is a star in the constellation Cetus that is spectrally similar to the Sun, although it has only about 78% of the Sun's mass. At a distance of just under 12 light-years from the Solar System, it is a relatively nearby star. Tau Ceti is metal-deficient and so is thought to be less likely to host rocky planets. Observations have detected more than ten times as much dust surrounding Tau Ceti as is present in the Solar System. The star appears stable, with little stellar variation. [link to en.wikipedia.org] :jkgtuuoiu8o: I highly doubt anyone on this planet will ever see or be on another planet ever.. In ancient Greek, the word ketos (Ancient Greek: , plural cetea Ancient Greek: - Latinized as cetus - denotes a large fish, a whale, a shark, or a sea monster. The sea monsters slain by Perseus and Heracles were each referred to as a cetus by ancient sources. The term cetacean originates from cetus. In Greek art, cetea were depicted as serpentine fish. The name of the mythological figure Ceto is derived from ketos. The name of the constellation Cetus also derives from this word. [link to en.wikipedia.org] |

Anything you can imagine, we already know how to do." I believe that its out there and those kind of technologies are ancient knowledge. I see star travel in the next 10 years |

Currently the fastest publicly known space craft is traveling at more than 35,000 mph. Everything changes when the people regain control of the government progress machine. |
