Solar Flare 10 Billion Times More Powerful than Sun’s Detected By Astronomers

The flare is thought to be caused by a disruption in an intense magnetic field actively funneling material onto a young, growing star as it gains mass from its surroundings. The event occurred in one of the nearest star-forming regions to the Earth, the Orion Nebula.The flare was observed on a very young star called JW 566, about 1,269 light-years away in the Orion Nebula.
