UK researchers find super flares from planet can destroy earth
Q. A planet has the potential to produce ________ with energy equivalent to a billion megaton bombs, which may severely disrupt power grids and communication systems on the Earth, a new study has found.- Published on 04 Dec 15a. Solar flares
b. Super flares
c. Hydrogen flares
d. Helium flares
ANSWER: Super flares
UK researchers discovered stellar superflare on a star with wave patterns similar to those that have been observed in solar flares. Found in the Milky Way , the binary star, KIC9655129, is known to produce superflare. Researchers suggest due to the similarities between the superflare on KIC9655129 and the Sun's solar flares, the underlying physics of the flares might be the same.
