Explosión de EV Lacertae English: Featured image of NASA. Explosión de EV Lacertae: For many years scientists have known that our sun gives off powerful explosions, known as flares, that contain millions of times more energy than atomic bombs. But when astronomers compare flares from the sun to flares on other stars, the sun's flares lose. On April 25, 2008, NASA's Swift satellite picked up a record-setting flare from a star known as EV Lacertae. This flare was thousands of times more powerful than the greatest observed solar flare. But because EV Lacertae is much farther from Earth than the sun, the flare did not appear as bright as a solar flare. Still, it was the brightest flare ever seen from a star other than the sun. Español: Imágen destacada en la NASA: Durante muchos años, los científicos creían saber qué producía las poderosas explosiones, conocidas como llamaradas, que contienen millones de veces más energía que una bomba atómica. |
