'''Tau Ceti''' is a star similar in spectral type and mass to our [[sun]] located 11.9 light years away in the south central part of Constellation [[Cetus]]. The similarities to our own star have lead to widespread interest in the star in both [[astronomy]] and [[Science Fiction]] over the decades. Interest in Tau Ceti has recently increased due to the large, dense debris disk discovered around the star in 2004. | '''Tau Ceti''' is a star similar in spectral type and mass to our [[sun]] located 11.9 light years away in the south central part of Constellation [[Cetus]].
