They represent a recent study from <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/mission\/chandra\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">NASA\u2019s Chandra X-ray Observatory<\/a> that shows how young Sun-like stars are dimmer in X-rays than previously thought.<\/p>\n<p>This latest study looked at eight clusters of stars between the ages of 45 million and 750 million years old. The researchers found that Sun-like stars in these clusters unleashed only about a quarter to a third of the X-rays they expected. This quieting of young stars is a benefit for the prospects for life on orbiting planets around these stars \u2014 not a threat.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/missions\/chandra\/nasa-finds-young-stars-dim-in-x-rays-surprisingly-quickly\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Learn more about what this finding means.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Image credit: X-ray: NASA\/CXC\/Penn State Univ\/K.
