Wednesday, 09 July 2025 09:55
Astronomers using ESA's Cheops mission have observed a young exoplanet seemingly causing powerful flares from its host star-flares so intense they are rapidly stripping away the planet's delicate atmosphere.
The planet, HIP 67522 b, orbits its star in just seven days and is bombarded by radiation due to frequent energetic outbursts. These flares, nearly 100 times more energetic than predic Atomic 6 receives 2M Space Force award to advance next generation solar arrays
