Teegarden’s Star Hi everyone I can remember reading Nemisis by Isaac Asimov along with a detailed article in the magazine Astronomy about the smallest stars Red Dwarfs sometime in the 90s. This sparked an interest in these small and interesting stars, I have been reading and studying them ever since. I have been thinking along with many others about their prospects for life and even extra-terrestrial civilization’s. Fast forward to the present day and technology has revealed systems of Terrestrial worlds are very common around these numerous and long lived stars. In fact not finding system of Planets would now be considered unusual. I’m also currently reading Proxima the story was written before the discovery around Proxima Centauri which is interesting in itself. Let now have a look at another amazing system around a Red Dwarf. Teegardens star is a solar neighbour, and similar in size to Trapist-1 being just large enough to make it onto the main sequence, so this is...
