Record-breaking flare erupts from neighboring star
From CNN:
"(CNN) - A giant flare that is 100 times more powerful than any flare our sun has ever released has erupted from a nearby star, a new study says."
https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/21/world/pr ... index.html
I apologize if this is actually old news - CNN articles never show their original date, only "updated on xxx."
