In the search for worlds similar to our own, a planet’s dens…

In the search for worlds similar to our own, a planet’s density can tell us a lot. A low density tells scientists a planet is more likely to be gaseous like Jupiter, and the opposite for a high density. But a new study suggests some planets are less dense than previously thought because of a second, hidden star in their systems. Details: http://go.nasa.gov/2ueM4d0
