Description
Exoplant and red dwarf stellar flares, illustration. Red dwarf star undergoing powerful eruptions called stellar flares, with a planet in the foreground. Red dwarfs tend to be magnetically active, displaying gigantic arcing prominences and a wealth of dark sunspots. Red dwarfs also erupt with intense flares that could strip a nearby planet's atmosphere over time. Studying the light from 215,000 red dwarfs in observations by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers found 100 stellar flares taking place over the course of a week. Image published in 2011.
