Astronomers detect first-ever coronal storm on a distant star
Scientists have observed a massive coronal mass ejection on red dwarf StKM 1‑1262, marking the first detection of such a stellar storm beyond the Sun. The eruption, 10,000 times stronger than typical solar storms, was captured by the LOFAR telescope. The finding reshapes understanding of stellar activity and raises new questions about the habitability of planets orbiting red dwarfs.
