Scientists have detected the largest stellar flare ever recorded from Proxima Centauri. The finding changes what we know about stellar flares and the potential for alien life around red dwarfs.

Solar flares can reshape exoplanet atmospheres within days, affecting temperature, winds, and potential habitability.

Astronomers have been trying to detect atmospheres on planets orbiting TRAPPIST-1, but bursts of radiation from the star make ...

Astronomers may have spotted a distant star spitting out a giant flare that packed 100,000 times more energy than any seen from Earth's sun, a new study finds. The researchers also said they've ...

Humanity’s romantic notion that extraterrestrial life might be lurking just beyond our reach has been dealt a serious blow. A new study published in Astrophysical … ...

Mystery unraveled of stellar flare so powerful it’s ‘evaporating’ a planet nearby. Scientists find 85-year-old flare to be a trillion times more powerful than the largest of flares from the sun ...

“In addition to the contamination from stellar spots and faculae, we saw a stellar flare, an unpredictable event during which the star looks brighter for several minutes or hours,” said Lim.
