Bright star Zeta Orionis emits rare X ray flare
Washington AP reports astronomers stunned by a sudden strong X ray burst from Zeta Orionis, a hot massive star in Orion. German researchers Berghofer and Schmitt noted a 30 percent rise in high energy X rays in September 1992, with partial rebound five months later and full return to normal by September 1993, a finding that may illuminate wind driven shock waves in hot stars.
