Eta Corvi and g Lupi

Eta Corvi

Around 59.4 light years from here, this is an F2V star with two debris disks, a promising sign that there may be planets.  Its metallicity is almost as high as Sol’s.  On the minus side, it’s only around a billion and a half years old, so any planets won’t likely have advanced life on them.

g Lupi

Another star that’s probably too young for advanced life -- it’s an F5V star just 60 light years from us with a debris disk., but only 300 million years old.
