Our Past Written in the Stars

The video explores how astronomers study the solar system's past by examining young stars similar to the Sun. Kappa One Seti, a nearby young star, serves as a model to understand the Sun's early years and its impact on the emergence of life. The study of its coronal wind and radiation provides insights into the formation of organic molecules. Future research aims to further explore these processes using other young stars like Ek Draconis.
