Astronomers reported today that they have detected for the first time a storm on a star other than our sun. They discovered an explosion so powerful that it could have stripped all nearby planets of their atmospheres. Solar storms in our solar system sometimes shoot out massive eruptions called coronal mass ejections. They can disrupt satellites when they...
Dutch researchers first to observe solar flares from star other than our Sun
An international team of astronomers led by Dutch and French researchers was the first to observe plasma ejections and solar flares on a star outside of our solar system. Researchers have long believed that coronal mass ejections (CMEs) - large eruptions of magnetized plasma - observed on our Sun also occur on other stars, but this is the first time it has been confirmed. “This gives us a chance to move beyond theory based solely on the Sun,” sa…
