NuSTAR is using DQ Tau as an extraordinary laboratory to study how the intense radiation from X-ray super-flares affects planet formation in young, forming systems.

A new study using data from NASA's NuSTAR space telescope suggests that Eta Carinae, the most luminous and massive stellar system within 10,000 light-years of Earth, is accelerating particles to high energies - some of which may reach our planet as cosmic rays.
