dewlineNoting another essay from Phil Plait, this time about Fomalhaut's supposed planet...or is it an pre-planetary formation belt of material?
https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/fomalhauts-planet-may-actually-be-a-dust-cloud-from-a-giant-asteroid-collision
And how many stars are components of the Fomalhaut system, anyway? I've read reports of anywhere from two to six stars being part of the system, and that doesn't seem to have been sorted out yet. As of this writing, the Wikipedia article devoted to that star's been rewritten to argue for a trinary. Fomalhaut B is AKA "TW Piscis Austrini", Fomalhaut C AKA LP 876-10.
Oh, something else I got pointed out to me via Wikipedia: the Castor Moving Group. Didn't know about that before, either!
