Astronomy & Space / | | English term or phrase: parent star | | As astronomical knowledge progressed, so the concept of a martian civilization gradually waned in peoples’ minds, until the prevailing view was that there never had been intelligent beings on the surface. But the idea that primitive life may have existed (or perhaps still does) remains in astronomers’ minds. There would even seem to be some controversial evidence that microbial life once existed on Mars (Figure 10.1). Before we begin looking for life on extrasolar planets, we need to define what makes the planet habitable. Although there are many atmospheric factors to take into account, an overwhelming consideration would appear to be the planet’s position in relation to its parent star. |

Ο Ήλιος του ηλιακού μας συστήματος θεωρείται ο "γονιός" των πλανωτών, καθώς είναι αυτός που τους φροντίζει παρέχοντας φως και ενέργεια. Αυτό σε αντιδιαστολή με το mother star, που θα σήμαινε ότι οι πλανήτες του ηλιακού συστήματος προήλθαν ("γεννήθηκαν") από τον Ήλιο.
