'Star' also plays basketball

The "stars" exchange planets like basketball players pass each other, according to new research by Harvard-Smithsonian Center experts.

The astrophysics team at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center (USA) has come up with an interesting hypothesis, whereby billions of stars in the Milky Way have a habit of catching the planets floating in inter-space. Galaxy.

These wandering planets, which were kicked out of their system when they first formed, sometimes found a new home with a new central star.

This explains why there exist some planets far away from their original system, as well as having a double planetary system, according to a report published in The Astrophysical Journal.

In order to reach this conclusion, computer modeling experts about "young" star clusters contain many free floating planets.

Experts found that if the number of planets is equal to the number of stars, that means that about 2% -6% of these stars have grabbed nomadic planets.

The bigger the star, the higher the ability to catch a nomad planet.
