Invisible fire.

Young red dwarfs emit strong UV radiation that can alter or destroy planetary atmospheres.

Why This Matters

This matters for habitability studies and the search for life.

It also helps model how planets evolve under high-energy stellar conditions.

Did You Know?

Even faint red dwarfs can irradiate planets with invisible UV fire.
