Planetquest, a NASA search for earthlike planets, might be starting to look for a ficticious (until now) planet called Vulcan that circles around 40 Eridani A, a dwarf star, for those of you who are not familiar with Star Trek. Eridani is a triple star system and the 3 suns are far enough apart so that there is the possibility that planets might have formed, according to Dr. Sean Raymond of the University of Colorado.
