Two University of Iowa researchers have made the first direct radio image of a stellar coronal loop at a star, other than the sun, thereby providing scientists with information that may lead to a better understanding of how such phenomena as space weather affect the Earth.

Wow!!!! That is extremely awesome. Not being an astrophysicist, the full implications are beyond me, but I'm just amazed at what they can do nowdays in terms of imaging. That's really cool.
