Evidence of powerful solar flares erupting from polar regions of young star AB Doradus

Star system: AB Doradus A | Distance from the Sun: 48.4 light years

These eruptions are much stronger than those seen on our Sun. The findings challenge the previous understanding that strong magnetic fields near the poles would prevent such eruptions.
