"We are only now beginning to understand that sunlike stars probably all
undergo a very energetic phase when they are young," says Lars Kristensen, a postdoctoral astronomer at Leiden University in the Netherlands.
"It's at this point in their lives when they spew out a lot of
high-velocity material—part of which we now know is water."
Of course, my first thought was of Solaris, the so-called Tyrant Sun of DC Comics One Million
and All Star Superman
(both written by the mighty Grant Morisson), as if they were talking about weirdly sentient and evil stars roaming the universe and blasting whole societies to death with super-heated streams of weaponized water particles, because no one could stand up to their limitless power!!! Or maybe it's just the caffeine talkin'... these stars may actually be benevolent or something, so don't bother leaving your Fortress of Solitude just yet. 
That's mighty nice of the protostars... I STILL don't trust 'em...

Why so suspicious. It's a sun spewing water, the building blocks of life. Heck, that's probably how we got our water. See? It's all good.
It's Solaris's fault. I no longer trust stars because of him. When a star comes near me, I tucks my chain and lock my car door!
