Image description: Eta Cassiopeiae A is very similar to our Sun, just a little bit more luminous. In this picture we see the sunset above ocean water. Eta Cassiopeiae B can be seen at upper right part of the picture, as the star moves away from it's companion to the distant 107 AU, when it will become just one of those bright stars in the night sky. Being almost sunlike star, with a planet in habitable zone, a chance for life should be 90%.
