The triple-star system is made up of the variable star HP Tau, HP Tau G2, and HP Tau G3. HP Tau is known as a T Tauri star, a type of young variable star that hasn\u2019t begun nuclear fusion yet but is beginning to evolve into a hydrogen-fueled star similar to our Sun. T Tauri stars tend to be younger than 10 million years old \u2015 in comparison, our Sun is around 4.6 billion years old \u2015 and are often found still swaddled in the clouds of dust and gas from which they formed.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about HP Tau.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image Credit: NASA, ESA, G.
