How many stars are reachable with the SELF telescope? The nearest stars within 20 parsecs (65 light-years) and brighter than V=10 mag (Stellar Magnitude Scale). In the image you can see stellar systems closer than 16 parsecs (51 light-years) and brighter than V=5 mag. The Sun is in the center of the image and Epsilon Eridani, our scientific milestone target, has been highlighted.
Imagine how many stars we would be able to observe!! And there is at least one planet per star so… lots of planets to discover and image!!
