In a new study, an international team of researchers has made a detailed investigation of four solar flares exploding from around the star TRAPPIST-1-a small and active celestial body located about 40 light-years from Earth. The findings could help scientists search for far away planets, or "exoplanets," that resemble our own and may even support life.
