  Hull UK (SPX) Jul 04, 2017 New models of massive stellar eruptions hint at an extra layer of complexity when considering whether an exoplanet may be habitable or not. Models developed for our own Sun have now been applied to cool stars favoured by exoplanet hunters, in research presented by Dr. Christina Kay, of the NASA Goddard Flight Center, on Monday 3rd July at the National Astronomy Meeting at the University of Hull. Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are huge explosions of plasma and magnetic field that routinely erupt fro ... read more |

Suffice to say its existence had a massive and extremely hostile impact on Europe at the time.
