In a historic first, astronomers observe massive solar eruption on nearby star
SMRTR summary
Astronomers have achieved a historic milestone by directly observing a coronal mass ejection (CME) from a star other than our Sun for the first time. Using radio telescopes, researchers detected the massive solar eruption from a red dwarf located 40 light-years away, which has a magnetic field 300 times stronger than our Sun's. This breakthrough could help scientists better understand space weather impacts on Earth and guide the search for habitable exoplanets around other stars.
