the planet serpo
distance of planet serpo to the two stars was reported in the initial serpo mission report:
distance to sun #1: 96.5 million miles / 155 million km
distance to sun #2: 91.4 million miles / 147 million km
such an arrangement can only exist if the binary star system is a close binary in which the two stars orbit about each other separated by some 5 million to 10 million miles / 8 million to 16 million km. planet serpo would thus orbit the two stars about a common center of gravity. this arrangement is clearly different from the alleged zeta reticuli model in which the two stars are separated by billions of km and planet serpo orbits only one of them. the other planets described in mission report ( a total of eight planets ) probably orbit the twin suns in the same manner.
the distance of planet serpo to each star would change in the order of a few millions of km as the stars orbit each other and as serpo orbits the two stars.
the star system as reported can only exist if the two suns orbit each other separated by some 5 to 10 millions of km and are in turn orbited by planet serpo as the fourth planet from the binary star center of gravity. the stars as such probably orbit each other in a time period of days or weeks or months rather than in millions of years.
both models of star systems do exist.
and both models are cosmologically stable.
however, the data clearly indicates that zeta reticuli cannot be the star system of planet serpo unless there has been some error in data transfer or translation.
if the star system of planet serpo is not zeta reticuli, then which one is it
