Earth-Like Planets Around Distant Stars Could Have Magnetic Fields That Would ... - Tech Times

Distant planets in orbit around smaller stars probably possess magnetic fields from which they are shielded from radiation that is stellar, increasing chances of life evolving on them as it has on Earth, researchers say.

Smaller low-mass stars known as M-class stars are a common type throughout the universe, and exoplanets orbiting those stars are simpler to detect and study, astronomers say.
