CALIFORNIA - nearby star located approximately 100 light years discovered by ESA's Herschel space observatory. According to scientists, these foreign stars have giant planets orbiting the center.

Reported IBTimes on Wednesday (10/04/2013), the astonishing fact is that the star of "retirement" is a bit bigger than the sun in the solar system. Foreign stars weighs 1.5 larger mass than the sun.

Not only that, the star also has a ring of dusty debris around it. The debris is typically only found in young stars.

Space Telescope of the European Space Agency (ESA) who found the star has an infrared detection capability. Telescope finds Kappa Coronae Borealis (k CRB) entering foreign stars after 2.5 billion years of releasing its hydrogen supply.

Like the sun in the solar system planets, the kappa Coronae Borealis has experienced the burning hydrogen capacity and enter the phase where he is ready to become a red giant. Red giant is capable of destroying the planet in the vicinity and left sub-giant star light.

Interesting finding was the discovery of the debris disc around the star. Generally, the debris is formed by comets and asteroids in space.

However, the debris will be lost after the star enters the second phase of their existence. In the solar system, the debris is destroyed approximately 600 million years after the sun formed. (FMH)
