Although it's not available in eBook format, it is a very short piece contained on the website. Thought some of you guys may be interested

Ancient worlds around Kapteyn's star
Very interested. I was just reading tonight on some news site or other, about the worlds that orbit Kapteyn's Star. Apparently the "earthlike" world is around 11.5Bn years old. (http://www.sci-news.com/astronomy/sc...tar-01965.html)
