In a bid to determine whether distant stars with planets orbiting them can harbour life, a global team of astronomers has discovered a new way to measure the pull of gravity at the surface of distant stars.
Knowing the surface gravity of a star is essentially knowing how much you would weigh on that star.
If stars had solid surfaces on which you could stand, then your weight would change from star to star.
The new method allows scientists to measure surface gravity with an accuracy of about four…
