Astrotwins [Astro*Index]

Two people born at the same time at the same longitude and latitude. There are thousands of cases, of close parallels in the lives of astrotwins. The most famous astrotwin was Samuel Hemming, born at the same time and on the same day as King George III of England. They physically resembled each other closely. The day that George succeeded to the throne Samuel established his iron monger business. They were married on the same day and each had the same number and sexes of children. They fell ill at the same times, had accidents at the same time, and both died on January 29, 1820, of the same cause.
