The Sun is characterized by its eruptions and coronal mass ejections. The stars far away from us are no different in this respect. Recently, scientists have been able to observe the most powerful flare in history.

this is what we know
Researchers from the University of Kyoto (Japan) have seen the most powerful flare ever observed. One of the stars V1355 Orionis, located 400 light-years away, ejected matter worth almost 1,000 km/s. The outburst was an order of magnitude larger than the most powerful such events on the Sun.

For the observation, the space observatory TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) was used. It is designed to search for exoplanets. The Seimei telescope, which measures almost four meters, also helped.

Astronomers do not fully understand the nature of flares, so these types of observations are very useful, especially when it comes to anomalies. They allow more accurate prediction of solar flares.
