"Unveiling Cosmic Fury: Hubble Captures Angry Star and Vanishing Planet"
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has provided new insights into the interaction between a red dwarf star named AU Microscopii and its planet, AU Microscopii b. The star's high-energy radiation is causing the planet's atmosphere to evaporate, resulting in a shedding of planetary material. This observation is significant because it is the first time scientists have witnessed such shedding on a regular planet, providing important insight into atmospheric escape during the formative period of exoplanetary systems. The findings could help scientists understand the evolution of exoplanets and the commonalities and differences between young red dwarfs and other stars.
