\n Researchers at Kyoto University and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan detected 12 stellar flares on AD Leonis, a red dwarf 16 light-years away. A light-year, which measures distance in space, equals about 6 trillion miles.<\/p>\n

Red dwarf stars are the smallest and most abundant stars in our galaxy. They are also longest-lived stars.<\/p>\n

One of the solar flares spotted on AD Leonis was 20 times larger than the flares emitted by our own sun, according to the experts, who used the university\u2019s new Seimei telescope to make the discovery.<\/p>\n

The research was published in the Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan.<\/p>\n

\u201cSolar flares are sudden explosions that emanate from the surfaces of stars, including our own sun,\u201d explained first author Kosuke Namekata in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn rare occasions, an extremely large superflare will occur,\u201d he said. \u201cThese result in massive magnetic storms, which when emitted from our sun can significantly effect the earth\u2019s technological infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur analyses of the superflare resulted in some very intriguing data,\u201d Namekata added.<\/p>\n

Specifically, light from excited hydrogen atoms of the superflare displayed an amount of high-energy electrons roughly one order of magnitude greater than typical flares from our sun, the researchers said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the first time this phenomenon has been reported and it\u2019s thanks to the high precision of the Seimei Telescope,\u201d Namekata explained.<\/p>\n

Scientists are hopeful that their research will help them predict superflares and potentially mitigate the damage from electrical storms on Earth. \u201cWe may even be able to begin understanding how these emissions can affect the existence \u2014 or emergence \u2014 of life on other planets,\u201d said the study\u2019s leader Kazunari Shibata.<\/p>\n

In a separate project, NASA released a stunning 61-minute time-lapse video that shows a decade in the life of the sun.<\/p>\n

The video was created from images taken by NASA\u2019s Solar Dynamics Observatory.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
