"Violent Stellar Outburst Threatens Developing Planets"

Scientists observed an extreme eruption from a young star, HD 283572, using the Submillimeter Array, indicating that developing exoplanets may face turbulent conditions. The eruption, one of the most powerful stellar flares ever seen, could have significant impacts on the formation of planets in its system. The team is continuing to monitor the star to understand the frequency and effects of such eruptions, and hopes to better understand the physics of these flares and their underlying processes.
