The Signature Assignment Parts
1. Name: Vega.
2. Distance from Earth in light years: 25 light-years from the earth.
3. When the light from the star now visible in the skies of Earth
actually left the star: The light visible from the star actually left the star 25
years ago in 1990.
4. Its size compared to the Sun: The radius of the sun is 695,800 KM and the
radius of Vega is 1,960,000 KM. This means that, Vega is 2.82 times the size
of the sun.
5. The stars luminosity compared to the Sun: The luminosity of Vega is 50
L so its 50 times the brightness of the sun.
1. Name: Gamma Lyrae.
2. Distance from Earth in light years: 620 light-years from the earth.
3. When the light from the star now visible in the skies of Earth
actually left the star: The light is visible from the star actually left the star
620 years ago in 1395.
4. Its size compared to the Sun: The radius of the sun is 695,800 KM and the
radius of Gamma Lyrae is 15 Solar Radius. This means that, Gamma Lyrae is
fifteen times the radius of the sun.
5. The stars luminosity compared to the Sun: The luminosity of Gamma
Lyrae is 2100 times the luminosity of the sun.
1. Name: Beta Lyrae.
2. Distance from Earth in light years: 960 light-years from the earth.
3. When the light from the star now visible in the skies of Earth
actually left the star: The light is visible from the star actually left the star
960 years ago in 1055.
4. Its size compared to the Sun: The radius of the sun is 695,800 KM and
there are two radiuses of Beta Lyrae 6.0+-0.2 solar radiuses and 15.2 +-0.2
solar radiuses.
5. The stars luminosity compared to the Sun: The luminosity of Beta Lyrae
is about 80 times as luminous compared to the sun.
1. Name: Theta Lyrae
2. Distance from Earth in light years: 770 light-years from the earth
3. When the light from the star now visible in the skies of Earth
actually left the star: The light is visible from the star actually left the star
770 years ago in 1245.
4. Its size compared to the Sun: The radius of the sun is 695,800 KM and the
radius of Thera Lyrae is 57 +-7 radiuses solar.
5. The stars luminosity compared to the Sun: The luminosity of Theta
Lyrae is about 913 times more luminous than the sun.

We have now discovered many exoplanets, planets that are similar to earth because
they orbit around a star like the sun. However, after thousands of them being
discovered and still no sign of life have been seen; this just supports the rare earth
hypothesis and shows how rare the conditions of life really are in the universe.
