How stellar eruptions might shape the fate of alien worlds: Could distant stars threaten exoplanets

Scientists have detected the first direct evidence of a coronal mass ejection from a star beyond our Sun, specifically the M dwarf StKM1-1262. This massive expulsion of plasma, observed as a Type II radio burst, offers crucial insights into the space weather experienced by exoplanets, particularly those orbiting M dwarfs, and their potential for habitability.
