The Sun isn’t the only star to produce stellar flares. On April 21, 2021, a team of astronomers published new research describing the brightest flare ever measured from Proxima Centauri in ultraviolet ...

Artist’s conception of the violent stellar flare from Proxima Centauri discovered by scientists in 2019 using nine telescopes across the electromagnetic spectrum, including the Atacama Large ...

Why were you looking at Proxima Centauri? Proxima Centauri is the closest star to this solar system. A couple of years ago, a team discovered that there is a planet – called Proxima b – orbiting the ...

Some 4.24 lightyears away is Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to our Sun. Since the star was first discovered well over 100 years ago, researchers have discovered at least two exoplanets that orbit ...

At a distance of just over four light years, Proxima Centauri is our nearest stellar neighbor and is known to be a very active M dwarf star. Its flare activity has been well-known to astronomers using ...

An artist's impression of a flare from Proxima Centauri, modeled after the loops of glowing hot gas seen in the largest solar flares. Exoplanet Proxima b is shown in the foreground. Proxima b orbits ...

The sun isn’t the only star to produce stellar flares. On April 21, 2021, a team of astronomers published new research describing the brightest flare ever measured from Proxima Centauri in ultraviolet ...

Space weather emitted by Proxima Centauri, the star closest to our sun, may make that system rather inhospitable to life after all. Using data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array ...

The closest star to the sun is called Proxima Centauri. Scientists recently spotted the largest solar flare ever recorded from that star. Proxima Centauri is four light-years, more than 20 trillion ...

Eric Mack has been a CNET contributor since 2011. Eric and his family live 100% energy and water independent on his off-grid compound in the New Mexico desert. Eric uses his passion for writing about ...

Scientists have spotted the largest flare ever recorded from the sun’s nearest neighbor, the star Proxima Centauri. The research, which appears today in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, was led by ...
