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

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Planets have anti-ageing properties and can force stars to act younger than their age, a new study has found. This is the best evidence to date that some planets apparently slow down the ageing process for their host stars. The study analysed multiple systems using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The anti-ageing property of 'hot Jupiters', which are gas giants orbiting a star at Mercury's distance from the Sun or closer, has been seen before. However, the study marks the first time the anti-ageing property of&nbsp;planets has been systematically documented. This is the strongest test yet of this exotic phenomenon.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
