OREANDA-NEWS Astronomers of University of Colorado conducted a new study. They said that the sun can trigger a massive release of energy. It will be thousands of times more powerful than regular flashes. Such an outburst will cause enormous damage to technological civilization.

Super flash can lead to the loss of all artificial satellites. Also, passengers of aircraft that fly through polar flights will receive high doses of radiation.

In addition, this powerful release can lead to an increase in the incidence of cancer and cataracts. The risk of sunburn will increase. The restoration of the atmosphere will take months or years.

Researchers also noted that current statistics are not enough to be sure that Sun can produce a catastrophically powerful flash. However, the likelihood of super flash occurring in the next hundred years is quite high.
