The linked article seems to refer to an incorrect star. The correct one (which is also named in the BBC article linked from this article) is BPM 37093: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BPM_37093" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BPM_37093</a><p>All in all, the linked article seems like a direct restatement of the BBC article (with errors added), so I recommend you read the BBC article directly: <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3492919.stm" rel="nofollow">http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3492919.stm</a>
