First solar sibling discovered!

"The star, called HD 162826, is located 110 light years away in the constellation Hercules. It's an F8V type. We can say that this star doesn't have a big hot Jupiter type massive planet orbiting very close to it, because previous searches for planets around this star haven't found any. But small planets like Earth are difficult to detect."
Hope it's in the star map - sounds like a good exploration expedition target for me!
