Our Chandra X-ray Observatory detected an X-ray flare from a very young star, resetting the timeline for when stars like our Sun start blasting high-energy radiation into space. The findings may help answer questions about our Sun's earliest days: https://go.nasa.gov/2ARW8O7 | NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

• Scientists Reveal Potential New Class of X-ray Star System Research 6.12.2019 VIDEO: The large donor star has a tear-drop shape because it is filling its Roche lobe, donating mass to two compact stars in a tight binary that correspond to a pair of neutron stars or black holes. If the mass-gaining binary were simply a single star, mass would flow steadily through one point, the L1 point. Because the mass gainer is a binary, we see interesting patterns of mass flow, executing a complex dance. Cr
