Description
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, and is the closest solitary G-class star. The star appears stable, with little stellar variation. Tau Ceti is metal-deficient, which deficiency is usually correlated with no giant planets and few rocky planets. Observations have however detected more than ten times as much dust surrounding Tau Ceti as is present in the Solar system
Thank you my art purchasers!!

Kim, I love this painting . Very different from richness of your other creations. Beautiful simple form and something about very gentle movement. I enjoy viewing it. Thank you for liking my old painting of Sunflower. It was a special piece. Best regards, Jürek

A conquistador's helmet, so very near... if just under 12 light years is near. Although 12 light years is no-distance-at-all in cosmic terms, I'd hate to have to use the bathroom when the sign on the galactic freeway said NEXT REST STOP 12 LIGHT YEARS. v/f

LOL!!!Hmmmm, maybe have intergalactic porta-potties? Yes, I also thought it looked like a conquistador's helmet-you are the first to mention that, thank you! Thank you so much and thank you for the v/f!
