Tau Ceti's planets nearest around single, Sun-like star

Perhaps a "Planet Dude?"

The nearest single Sun-like star to the Earth hosts five planets - one of which is in the "habitable zone" where liquid water can exist, astronomers say.

Tau Ceti's planetary quintet - reported in an online paper that will appear in Astronomy and Astrophysics - was found in existing planet-hunting data. The study's refined methods of sifting through data should help find even more far-flung worlds.

The star now joins Alpha Centauri as a nearby star known to host planets.

Nice pad you got here; completely unspoiled - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-20770103

Would probably need a good family restaurant and a bowling alley.
