Planets Have Anti-Ageing Properties, Can Force Stars To Act Younger Than Their Age, NASA's Chandra Finds

ABP News  

Planets have anti-ageing properties and can force stars to act younger than their age, a new study has found. In a statement released by NASA, Nikoleta Ilic, who led the new study, said the new study makes it clearer that hot Jupiters are really making the stars they orbit act younger than they are. New study looked at a binary star system The new Chandra study tried to solve this problem by looking at a double-star or binary system where the stars are widely separated but only one of them has a hot Jupiter orbiting it. Stars near a hot Jupiter were more active than those without one In order to determine how 'young' a star is acting, the team used the amount of X-rays.
