Image description: Another star similar to Sun, but a little bit more massive. Our hypothetical planet is located at 1.2 AU and it takes 456 days for one orbit around the star. On image we see a system of Earth sized planet with it's two large moons that orbit each other. It seems like Delta Pavonis is leaving the main sequence to become a red giant. If that is true, then the star must be quite older than our Sun - this gives us 50% to find life out there.
