Tau Ceti is the second brightest Sun-like star in the sky. Visible to the naked eye, it is located near the celestial equator, in the constellation Cetus, the sea monster. Compared to the Sun, it has a lower abundance of elements heavier than helium, rotates more slowly, and has weaker magnetic activity. Around the star, there is a broad, inclined, dusty debris disk, which corresponds to Tau Ceti's version of the Kuiper Belt. While Tau Ceti’s disk is smaller and dustier than our own Kuiper Belt.
