New research suggests that small stars known as red dwarfs – the most common type of stars in the universe – could transform lifeless exoplanets into Earth-like exoplanets capable of hosting extraterrestrial life.
–
Red dwarfs, also known as M stars, are smaller, less intense versions of our sun, and make up to 70% of the stars in the cosmos. They also have two qualities that are usually considered too harsh to nurture habitable exoplanets: extreme tides and violent space weather.
–
For those exoplanets orbiting closer to red dwarf stars, tidal forces are stronger than on Earth. The stretching and pulling of these forces can energize a planet’s core, causing extreme volcanic activity under the surface that boils away an exoplanet’s water – along with any chance it has of hosting life.
