Planets in close orbit around stars may be safe from dangerous flares
Planets in close orbit around stars may be safe from dangerous flares
Common M-dwarf stars seem to generate flares on their surface at latitudes above 55 degrees – so planets, which typically orbit near a star’s equatorial plane, might be safe from them
