Coronal mass ejections are explosions that can occur on the surface of massive stars like our sun.

Many planetary systems, such as our solar system, revolve around the Milky Way. Scientists have discovered that sun-like stars in the Milky Way explode in this way. This giant star, called AK Dragonis, is about the size of our Sun. Like the explosion that occurs in the sun, there is a big explosion in this star. Stars are being explored by telescopes from Earth and space.
Researchers, including Yoda Nocho, an astronomer at the University of Colorado Boulder in Japan, are studying the star AK Dragonis. They are currently exploring a stellar eruption called a coronal mass ejection. They published their findings December 9 in the journal Nature Astronomy. The details are as follows; –
Coronal mass ejections are explosions that can occur on the surface of massive stars like our sun. Plasma, or the heat particles emitted from such an explosion, travels through space at millions of miles per hour. It will cause the greatest damage to the planets on its way.
If it collides with our planet, it could pose a great danger to mankind. Many satellites orbiting Earth can catch fire, causing serious damage to Earth, such as communications, power outages, and radiation.
Such “coronal mass ejections” currently occur periodically under the star AK Dragonis. It is also possible that this phenomenon occurs in our Sun. But scientists say it only happens once every few thousand years.
The star AK Dragonis is the smallest planet compared to our Sun. It probably only appeared 100 million years ago. At the same time, our Sun is 4.5 billion years old. Scientists hope that further study of this star will help us understand the changes that occurred in the early stages of our sun and future solar storms.
