Huge eruption on a distant star confirmed at last

<h2>00:45 A coronal mass ejection from a distant star</h2><p>Researchers have detected what they say is the strongest evidence yet of a coronal mass ejection (CME) coming from a star other than our Sun. CMEs are massive bursts of fast-moving plasma that can be detected thanks to the characteristic radio signal they produce. However, despite decades of searching, these signals have only been identified from the Sun. Now a team has identified a similar signal coming from a distant star in the Milky Way. They hope their discovery will lead to better understanding of the impact these colossal events might have on the atmospheres of exoplanets, and their chances of being habitable.</p><br><p><em>Research Article:&nbsp;</em><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09715-3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Callingham et al.</em></a></p><br><p><br></p><h2>12:28 Research Highlights</h2><p>Video footage of a devastating earthquake provides a first-of-its-kind glimpse of a...
