Studying the light from 215,000 red dwarfs collected in observations by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers found 100 stellar flares. The observations, taken over a seven-day period, constitute the largest continuous monitoring of red dwarf stars ever undertaken. These results will be presented on Jan. 10, 2011, at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Seattle, Wash.
