Abstract
Description
Includes descriptive metadata provided by producer in MP3 file: "A new study has caught a newborn star similar to the sun in a fiery outburst. X-ray observations of the flare-up, which are the first of their kind, are providing important new information about the early evolution of the sun and the process of planet formation." Astronomer David Weintraub comments on this rare new-born star and its short-lived outburst of x-rays. His findings were recently published in the journal Nature.
