No. 10 - T'Pol from Star Trek: Enterprise As if her mind-melding looks weren't enough to prove her hot-worthy, she's fully certified in Vulcan neuropressure. And no, that's not a euphemism. Add to the fact she's one of the only chicks who makes a Peter Pan haircut look good, and you've got yourself a certified alien hottie! The only downside, perhaps, is her being engaged (depending on what day you catch her). Oh well ... live long and prosper.
While your chances of hooking with T'Pol are slim to none, your chances of one day meeting a Vulcan are....well, let's just say more likely than they were before. Using data from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope scientists from the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics and the SETI Institute now claim that there's a solar system which is a younger twin of our own, just 10.5 light-years from us.
Not really all that exciting until tell you realize that the star is called 40 Eridani A. Which just happens to be the home star of T'Pol, Spock and all the other Vulcans.
If Vulcan life were to exist on the planet, planetary theorists say the orbit of the planet would have to lie in a sweet spot around the star where liquid water could be present on its surface. For 40 Eridani A, this habitable zone is 0.6 astronomical units from the star. That means Vulcans would get to celebrate a birthday about every six months.
