By detecting an X-ray flare from a very young star using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, researchers have reset the timeline for when stars like the sun start blasting high-energy radiation into space, as reported in our latest press release. This is significant because it may help answer some questions about our sun's earliest days as well as some about the solar system today.
