Distant star's 'superflare' may have caused powerful solar storm.

Scientists have observed one of the most powerful and gargantuan stellar flares ever seen from a star system called V1355 Orionis, which is about 400 light-years from Earth. The superflare is 10 times more massive than anything ever witnessed erupting from the sun and may have launched one of the largest coronal mass ejections (CMEs) ever observed. Superflares originate from stars that are highly magnetically active and may be accompanied by enormous eruptions of charged particles that could devastate life on any planets in their firing line.

Record-breaking Solar Flare Observed by Scientists

Scientists have observed one of the most powerful solar flares ever observed in the Orion system, estimated to have been around ten times more powerful than anything ever seen from our Sun. The flare is so big it would have devastated anything in its path, like exoplanets. The astronomers focused their latest study on the stellar system known as V1355 Orionis, which is 400 light-years away from our planet and has two stars orbiting each other.

Massive Superflare Eruption Observed from Distant Star

Astronomers have observed a superflare on one of the stars in the V1355 Orionis binary system, which is ten times more extensive than the largest solar flare ever recorded on the Sun. The superflare began with a massive, high-velocity prominence and developed into a coronal mass ejection that carried trillions of tons of material away into space. Understanding flares on stars, and why they occur, is important as they could affect the evolution of any nearby planets and their atmospheres.
