Our Sun Could Be Overdue For a Violent Superflare, Study Warns
If the Sun is similar to tens of thousands of stars observed by scientists, it might be overdue for a "superflare," explains @science.org editor @drkeithsmith.bsky.social in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪 ☀

A 'superflare' 10 trillion X brighter than the Sun has been confirmed as the most luminous burst of light ever from a black hole. 🧪 ⚛️
What caused such an outburst?
Astronomers think a star, >30X the Sun's mass, was being gobbled up by the BH. ⚫

Biggest black-hole outburst ever seen records death throes of a star
A ‘superflare’ 10 trillion times brighter than the Sun is confirmed as the record-holder for luminosity.

Vor fast 80 Jahren gab es auf der Sonne zuletzt einen Sonnenfleck, aus dem ein sogenannter Superflare hätte entstehen können. Das unterstreicht die Gefahr. #Wissen
Zuletzt im April 1947: Gigantische Sonneneruptionen sind prinzipiell möglich

Some stars produce 'superflares', which release orders of magnitude more energy than any known solar flare. Vasilyev et al. examine thousands of stars with properties matched to the Sun, finding they undergo an average of one superflare per century. 🔭☀️

Solar 'Superflares' Rocked Earth Less Than 10,000 Years Ago--and Could Strike Again
Although our sun is considered a quiet star, it is now thought to have repeatedly pelted our planet with enormous eruptions in the not too distant past. Could another occur in the near future?

The most luminous burst of light ever detected from a black hole — a fireworks show that was, at its peak, more than 10 trillion times brighter than the Sun — flared up as the black hole gobbled up a star that was at least 30 times as massive as the Sun.
