Scientists find superflares on sun-like stars may occur once a century, posing risks to Earth's technology.

Scientists have found that superflares, intense solar events much stronger than typical solar flares, may occur about once every century on sun-like stars. Analyzing data from NASA's Kepler telescope, researchers observed 2,889 superflares on 2,527 stars. These superflares, which could disrupt technology on Earth, are more frequent than previously thought, potentially posing a higher risk of geomagnetic storms.
