Young 12 million years old

NASA astronomers believe the Beta Pictoris photo was born 12 million years ago. Therefore, it can be said that he is a “newly created” and that he is in the development step.

So far it has given fame the album that surrounds the star that appears in the image. However, we have been able to know that the Beta Pictoris star is younger than we think. Beta Pictoris would be the youngest star closest to Earth to confirm the hypothesis launched by NASA astronomers. Being so close to telescopes would allow us to better understand the steps after the birth of a star.

Analyzing the structure of his album, Beta Pictoris has been considered a 100 million year star. However, NASA researchers claim that this star's disc is still very bright and that does not happen in the case of 100 million year old stars. On the contrary, researchers claim that this star is “newly created” and is in the process of development. Specifically, these astronomers believe that Beta Pictoris was born 12 million years ago. Taking this theory to the extreme, we can conclude that this young star is still capable of creating planets.
