MYTH: Total solar eclipses produce harmful radiation that can cause blindness. No, the radiation from an eclipse cannot cause blindness. But that doesn't mean you can't permanently damage your eyes.
The radiation belt around the ultracool dwarf star, located around 19 light-years from Earth, is doubled-lobed like the radiation belts around Jupiter — but it's 10 million times brighter.
